Chinese Wind Power Plant Coming to U.S. Soil

JL--

"...many of the component parts...from usa suppliers.." these statements say nothing of the production location of the higher skill, majority of value add labor hours to produce the final generator subassemblies.

e.g.-- GE is moving their turbine transmission production to china as well as are others [siemans, vesta] relocating high production hours to asia. without knowing production skills and hours base locations, little is known how or if usa workers are receiving equitable treatment. this is true for usa parts suppliers also. they may use off shore labor for highest labor content jobs also.

total truth requires the onion to be peeled completely by skill sets and total labor value add. only then will the benefit to usa laborers be known. could this APWR offer be for 25% or significantly less benefit to the people without jobs in ELKHART, IN.?

OR WHEREVER SUCH FINAL ASSEMBLY OCCURS.

Opportunities in the Wind Energy Value Chain

Chinese Stock Market Bottoms: What Should U.S. Investors Do?

very good observation M. Henderson[chinese gov't investing SSE]. it's good that someone uses more intelligence than a chart with averages. on avg, the SSE has been hovering about 2000 for 3mo. recent upswing coincident with gov't action or what? best give stimulus time to show its teeth.

remember from what level SSE dropped in last 12 mo
