Why are we creating green jobs in China instead of the US?

Looks like a missed opportunity.

The one good thing about going green; it was supposed to create jobs. But the 1.5 billion is coming from Chinese banks, instead of our own Banks, and our Government is securing the loan. In addition to paying their banks interest, the wind turbines are coming from China. This would have been roughly 1600 created in the US. America does make wind turbines. So another opportunity lost.

The only jobs we get will be a few installers, but no mf jobs, and another import.

Am I missing something?

Update:

Aflac- Your article does menton anything about the negotiations. HOwever, the "US is not only backing the loan, but they are providing grants from the Stimuls package. Surely if we are firing CEO's as a result of the stimuls, we could expecy the stimuls money to support American Job growth, not Chinese Job Growth.

    Almost every single day, the White House through some of its hundreds of news release funnels, spoon feeds the propaganda about how GREAT the economy is doing.

    Like with the nightmare Healthcare, Obama has sent ALL his forces out in speeches to now push his Jobs Bill, which is NOTHING more than another expensive LIE.

    It's NOT just about jobs going overseas anymore. It's about domestic jobs NOW going to foreign contractors, INSIDE our country.

    This link is only one example of a "problem" the news media is not reporting.

    Yes. You are missing the fact that China has a long way to go before it can even begin to clean up its environment. That's why they rest of the world has been waiting for China to agree to participate in the planet's effort against global warming.

    What people in the US appear to have forgotten is that the USA supported, loaned, and levied other countries for years! Furthermore, the US excels in research but lags in development since going to a so-called service economy; we're remedying that, hopefully. A good balance is required for all nations though, not just the US.

    The Green Job Scam has already piled enormous debt on European countries and littered the continent with non-functioning wind farms that are an eyesore and an environmental disasters.

    In southern california the last generation of windmills

    Derelict turbines cause 10,000 annual bird deaths from Altamont Pass wind farm.

    Green Jobs will create a huge debt to install useless unproven wind an solar projects that fall into disuse the moment massive government subsidies end.

    Green jobs??? Really? Do you want a wind turbine in your backyard? Heck no! I live near a nuclear plant - I'm fine with that, I know the risks and so forth (I also know obama closed down the repository in Nevada - thanks buddy and now you want to build a nuclear plant? Uh, where will the waste go? @$$hole).

    Get rid of the worm (obama). Problem solved.

    When America went from a manufacturing based economy to a "service" based economy we lost our edge. We can either get it back or pay the price.

    It's a private company making that deal with China. It's not the government doing it.

    I graduated among the best in all Germany in renewable energies.

    My wife is American. I went to the US to live there for a while... but as they are not really pioneers neither in technology nor in its implementation I packed my stuff.

    I now enjoy a 10% income tax in Switzerland on an good engineer salary.

    So long US !!!
