A super simple solution to create hundreds of thousands of jobs (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/09/08/video-a-super-simple-solution-to-create-hundreds-of-thousands-of-jobs-2/)
Earlier this summer, I wrote about an IHS-CERA study (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/07/22/study-picking-up-the-gulf-oil-permitting-pace-could-result-in-230000-jobs/) that showed picking up the pace of Gulf Oil permitting could result in 230,000 jobs. Predictably, the administration’s response to the study was not to take its recommendations to heart — but, rather, to criticize the study itself...
[L]et me cite some other research. A study by the energy analyst firm Woods McKenzie (http://www.api.org/Newsroom/how-to-create-jobs.cfm) released just yesterday showed that by unleashing domestic energy, we could create 1.4 million jobs, bring in an additional 800 billion in revenue and add 10 billion barrels of additional oil and gas by 2030.
Nor are these jobs limited to just one area of the country. As this interactive map from API reveals, virtually every state in the nation would benefit.
Sounds like a good option.
Or the government could continue investing in firms like this one (http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/FBI-at-Solyndra-Headquarters-129455348.html):
FBI agents armed with search warrants descended Thursday morning on bankrupt solar company Solynrda.
The investigation comes after a request by the Department of Energy's inspector general, FBI spokesman Peter Lee told NBC Bay Area News.
Agents arrived at Solyndra at 7a.m. and were examining the factory. Solynrda has a skeleton crew of 100 workers on the scene, who are closing the factory down...
Solyndra filed for bankruptcy last week, shocking both workers and the Obama administration, which had given the startup $535 million in low interest loans.
$535 mil invested resulting in $535 mil and countless jobs lost...or some signatures invested resulting in hundreds of thousands up to millions of jobs created, hundreds of billions of dollars injected into the economy, less dependence on foreign oil, and who knows, possibly lower gas prices. Which do you think the pres will pick?
