Other than sit around and twiddle their thumbs. The green economy thriving.
"CBC News reports that an Ontario General Motors' plant where Chevy Impalas and Equinoxes were built will be closed down, costing Canadians around 2,000 jobs. GM reportedly plans to partially move production of the Impala to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant in Michigan. You may remember the Hamtramck site from the Chevy Volt commercial which trumpeted the building of Volts there. It now seems that low demand for the Volt has led to the plant having enough time to build other, conventionally-powered vehicles. While the Volt may have been the car GM "had to build," it appears that consumers would "prefer" them to build cars like the Impala. It is also reported that GM will build 2013 Chevy Malibus at the Chevy Volt plant. The additional tasks will give workers that produce the low-selling Volt something to do, other than stay home on paid leave as they have had to do during shutdown periods for the Volt. It also enables GM to politically tout job creation at the Volt plant. The fact that the jobs have not been created by the "green" Volt and that they come at the expense of lost Canadian jobs is sure not to be mentioned."
Amazing how the right cheers when an alternative energy project fails and people lose their jobs because of it.
amazing how some who claim to be champions of the people, cheer the taking of money from rich and poor alike to be redistributed to friends in high places.

I don't see any cheering. Just showing more proof the green economy that Obama promised would take the US out of recession is doing nothing of the sort which is exactly what we have been telling you swooning green nuts frm the jump. Once again I will say go look at what the green economy did to Spain if you want to see the end result.
