"Those turbines on flatbeads headed down the highway = jobs".. .. MOM

Martin O'Malley was in Iowa talking about our wind energy industry and how this not only helps with immediate energy issues.. but creates great paying blue collar jobs also..We have this knot headed association with alternative energies and a privileged class when it is just the opposite..

It costs way too much to make those turbines in China and ship them over.. those are American production jobs going down I-29

Those are great paying jobs installing and keeping those turbines going..

Just a small example.. we need him.. we need his understanding and outlook on how being a caretaker of the environment is good for everyone
