Senator wants no federal funds used in U.S.-China wind project

Full story: Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Sen. Charles Schumer, D- N.Y. does not understand that if we do not buy the Chinese made turbines we will need to buy turbines from Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce will be asking our government for fabricating all the other components, while the Chinese project will be funded by a Chinese corporation, which is under written by the Chinese government, who still have money to lend to us.

All other components like the towers and the propellers will be made in western Texas counties, which El Paso is part of it. This project might not benefit N.Y. but it sure will benefit El Paso, Texas.

Sen. Charles Schumer: You are an idiot!

I think the good senator is doing his job. He is elected to represent New York, not Texas and not the United States of America. The strength of the political system is to grab every dollar for the state you represent and bugger the rest of the country. Great system. Don't blame the man for doing his job.
