Detroit Auto Workers to Make Windmills
This is my crackpot scheme, hear me out. I was against the bank bailout and I'm against the automotive bailout. I live in a capitalist country and I side with most libertarian ideals. However, I would hate to see the entire state of Michigan look like Flint did when I drove through there in 1995 -- desolate, broke, and empty. After all, auto manufacturers pay taxes too and they might need a hand if Chrysler and GM were to go under. My proposal? Government subsidized windmills.Why not take the manufacturing work force already in place and build a couple of windmill plants? The workers would have their jobs and they'd be creating renewable energy at a price that families around the country could afford. They might even expand into solar panels after a couple of years. After all, Obama has already expressed an interest in creating green jobs.
The market created by this proposal would ween us off fossil fuels, promote more research into renewable energy and would certainly reduce the number of private jets in the sky.
Where would you put the auto bailout money? What stipulations would you demand?
