Sen. Schumer may finally be on to something. He wants to stop stimulus money from going to a wind farm to be built in west Texas. The catch seems to be that the project is going to use Chinese wind turbines, not American.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said he was "furious" about the possibility that federal stimulus dollars could flow to the project, a collaboration involving Austin, Texas-based Cielo Wind Power, China's Shenyang Power Group and the private equity firm U.S. Renewable Energy Group. "I'm all for investing in clean energy, but we should be investing in the United States -- not China," Schumer told reporters. "It's counterproductive to invest U.S. stimulus funds in Chinese companies, rather than our own." Times Union Link You can't have no idea how little I care. |

Schumer would change his comments in an instant if those very same companies came up with a campaign donation for him.

The marxist Chuckie Schumer does nothing right for America in his continual attempts to make it a socialist nation. There must be a hidden agenda.

I'll be interested when Chuckie supports nuclear power, everything else is a boondoggle.

Radio news has been saying if the turbines are made in China, it will create 3000 jobs. If they are made in the US, it will create 300 jobs. What we do to our country, in our country is no business of Chinas. Personally feel we should ban all their products as, they were formerly made by Americans.
Shumer is just trying to save his bacon 'cause he is not so popular in New York state now a days. Hope to see a little house cleaning in 2010. |

So I'm guessing that this company isn't publicly traded yet? He should take some financial coaching from Franks and Dodd. Be courteous and polite to everyone you meet... but have a plan to kill them if necessary.- Anonymous  |

if Schumer was a smart guy, he'd approach Boone Pickens

Maybe at the heart of Chucky's angst here is that he won't get his piece of the action if the turbines are made in China. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 |

My first thought when I saw the thread title was ... impossible.

I thought this was going to be about resignation and self immolation...

It's probably an attempt to try and save face to some degree.... after the great job they did with the Japanese and Korean car company bail out.

That he did. American turbines are more expensive. Guess who absorbs the cost? |
