President Barack Obama on Thursday toured a vehicle battery plant in Michigan, touting his administration’s focus on green technology and jobs, at a corporation where federal money authorized by the economic stimulus law that Obama signed at the beginning of his presidency had created "green" jobs at a cost of about $2 million in federal subsidies per job.
Johnson Controls has received a $300 million federal grant and expects to create 150 jobs at facilities in Michigan and Wisconsin, White House energy adviser Heather Zichal said.

Several times this summer the local grid has gone down at my place of employment due to present-day demands on an aging system. If air conditioners are frying neighborhood transformers, how are people going to charge these enormous batteries from home?
It is so typical of the reactionary left to enact feel-good legislation without ever thinking through all the implications. They erect monuments to their own benevolence, then quickly move on to the next project while the masses are forced to work around their boondoggles.
