No worries though , im sure you will be happy chipping in your part of Illinois tax $$$ thats going towards his $200 million library. Have fun paying for that.



Obama Presidential Library Will Cost Illinois Taxpayers More Than $200 Million

Overall solar jobs declined by 3.8 percent in 2017. Nor really a MAGA point.

actually the majority of Solar panels are made outside the USA then imported in. This investment is different because LG will be manufacturing them in the USA.

LG already was manufacturing in U.S. and I will admit now increasing that amount due to tariffs However, the tariffs have caused an increase in solar panels and has dampened adoption rates and therefore installment and sales jobs. Overall, the solar market in U.S. declined in 2017. In no way is that a plus.

LG will add two production lines at its 48-acre campus in Huntsville, where the company has had operations for four decades. The solar module plant will bring LG's total employment in the Southern city to more than 400 workers.

Starting in early 2019, the new manufacturing plant is expected to produce 500 megawatts of solar modules per year. LG joins a steadily growing list of solar companies to have announced plans to invest in American manufacturing since President Trump imposed tariffs on imported solar cells and modules earlier this year. The tariffs stemmed from a Section 201 trade case brought by struggling U.S.-based solar companies Suniva and SolarWorld Americas.




but but but but but.... the Solar Panel Tariffs will Hurt US Production

The good news this week just keeps flowing ..... Keep Up the good work MR.PRESIDENT!

I thought "Trump & Associates" were all for "clean coal"? I guess Trump turned his back on WV coal miners who promised to get their jobs back

And while i think solar is the way of the future what happened to trumps promise of re-opening up coal mines?

Pay in Ala. will be in the $10-15/ hour range.

Problem will be finding employees who will pass the drug test.
