(Planet Gore)
MichiganÂ’s deeply unpopular governor Jennifer Granholm explained that she was chosen to moderate Tuesday nightÂ’s energy panel from the convention stage because of the Wolverine StateÂ’s efforts in renewable power. The idea that windmills will rescue one of AmericaÂ’s great manufacturing states is absurd on its face, but she persisted in spinning a fairy tale that Michigan is perfectly positioned to take advantage of alternative energy manufacturing because of the "Five Ws" (IÂ’m not making this up) in abundance in the state: "Wind, water, waste, workforce and wood."
Manufacturers must be howling at that one — at least the ones who haven’t already fled for cheaper, right-to-work states. |
