People don’t realize how much money they waste in their own homes not being green. They also don’t realize how unsafe their homes really are. Going green makes sense when saving money. You don’t go all in,and go broke; you go little by little,and it grows. I work in the comfort industry,and i can tell you about saving green.

Wind energy will bring a better future, all the better when the Chicago Mafia Prez is out of office.

Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies are doing everything they can to stop this
information. If you want a Free energy magnet motor , get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM , Join the
revolution!

@Hamilton940 Breathing emits greenhouse gas too! After all, it is Co2 we breathe out. So every breath will need to be taxed… mmm…life is gunna get expencive…

@mrfuzzles15 Yeah, unless Americans are going to work for like $8 per day and work 7 days a week, manufacturers aren’t going to move back. It is hardly the unions fault. Even without unions, Americans refuse to work as slave labor. Ontario Canada made more cars than Michigan last year. Canadians have all the beneifts and pay the American autoworkers get, but the jobs still go. Hopeless situation, bad government intertangled with corporations to blame. We’re not capitalist, we’re corporatist

@davfritz Candles emit greenhouse gas. You would need to buy carbon offset credits to have candles.

I am glad for this worker, I am not so glad that my tax dollars are what is paying him. State of PA gave like 20 million dollars for this company and stimulous money on top of that. Why don’t we just give this money to unemployed people, and let them go crazy spending it. These companies are like suckling piglets that never grow up, before they get to the slaughterhouse.
Sadly, it is only a job for the future as long as the government takes tax dollars, and gives it to these companies.

Hey Troy! NICE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see stuff like this and I feel all warm and fuzzy. I wish I had known about this footage when I was compiling the video for Made In America. Check it out. It’s obviously catching on because Bob King’s office (uaw) called today. We might make another cut of it and I’d be thrilled to include some of the steel worker shots in a version 2. Go USA.

Nice Obama-Biden t-shirt. Still think “green” is the future? It’s a shell game, dude…until the music stops, and I can’t hear it anymore.

Soon we will be makeiung candles and splitting roof shingles. We’ll love it. I’m gunna build a bark hut.

Clearly Propaganda…

yeah we do need american jobs, we need to get rid of stupid ass unions cost too much to hire these retards to do a simple job stupid minimal wage we need to bring over sea shitty jobs back into america.

exactly! No more outsourcing all our manufacturing job. You cannot build an economy on home equity loans.
January 17th, 2012 - 19:13
Yes, you are right, we will still be dependent on petroleum, but instead of burning it uselessly, by useing it to build more durable things like plastics and synthetics, at least that is tha much less emissions going into the air.
Furthermore, if we keep synthetic production and manufacturing in the US instead of outsourcing it to china, the US can develop newer, cleaner, and more efficeint processes to manufacture them. Also, the US can also invent new synthetics.
January 17th, 2012 - 19:13
We’re probably stuck using nasty chemicals and oil products for a number of other areas from lubrication to plastics and fertilizers, etc., for a long time to come and where and how manufacturing takes place along the supply chain will be critical to economies and the environment.
I’m Australian, but we’re on the same page as to where we’d like component manufacturing to be. To be honest, it’s good if the US does it as that is more likely to boost the global economy than if it happens here.

I agree here, but also keep in mind that we still need oils to make plastics for these wind turbines, making solar PV cells require toxic chemicals.
At least teh US has strict environ laws, if we outsource it to china, they have bad environ laws, they will only polute worse when making these items for green energy.
These things need to be MADE IN AMERICA, to keep Americans working, and to make them cleaner than what somehwere else would.
January 17th, 2012 - 20:32
Damn straight! And to stimilate the US green research and even resulting jobs, we should buy wind turbines MADE IN AMERICA! Not made in china taiwan, indonesia, or even spain, portugal, We need American Jobs!
Since American environmentalists are so strong in lobbying for more clean industry, they need to lobby this too, because if we outsource mfg to china where they have poor environ laws, we onoly pass our pollution, & the world windstreams only blow it back to us.

The best bit in this video is the look in his eyes as he talks to camera: a (former) steelworker with a sense of certainty and hope.
This time around there’s no doubt: the greens are on the side of progress, the fossil fuel industry is trying to keep us us in the dark ages.

Proof positive that green jobs have very real, very human consequences.
January 17th, 2012 - 21:47
Energy crisis, terrorism funding, global economic downturn, unemployment, pollution, acid rain, mine-ravaged ecologies, mine-fractured communities, ruined indigenous homelands, oil wars, oil spills, tailings dam leaks, polluted rivers, inefficient transport, catastrophic global warming. All solved by green, renewable energy. There is no future with oil and coal.

Great story, congratulations To Troy Galloway; my heart is with you, I feel happy that you and your family are ok.
