Wind at their backs: Powerful Democrats help Chinese energy firm chase stimulus money
Source: MSNBC
WASHINGTON — Top Democratic fundraisers and lobbyists with links to the White House are behind a proposed wind farm in Texas that stands to get $450 million in stimulus money, even though a Chinese company would operate the farm and its turbines would be built in China.
The farm’s backers also have close ties with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who, at the height of his hard-fought re-election bid this fall, helped blunt congressional criticism over stimulus dollars possibly going to create jobs in China by endorsing a proposal by the Chinese company to build a factory in his home state. Although his campaign received thousands of dollars in donations from the wind farm’s backers and Reid stood on stage with them at a campaign event they hosted, his office declined to answer any questions about the wind farm’s organizers or their plans for Nevada.

And we just sold India 10 C-17 transport aircraft from Boeing for $3.5bn. They are also eyeing $11bn more in fighter jets. What is your point?
American companies are more than welcome to use the same stimulus money to build windfarms over here. Why aren't they doing so? If a Chinese company finds it to profitable to supply us with clean energy, why is this a problem? Clean energy is a good thing!
