I'm sure the MSM will pick this story right up/s

[Paladin2]

I heard that Wind Energy has lost 10,000 jobs this year while Petroleum employment is up 75,000.

You're somebody, Rick.

Talk about it. We're listening.

Mitt Romney mentioned that his wife confided in him that on the campaign trail she is hearing that women are concerned about jobs and the economy. "I'd like to talk about the economy", he said.

The media went into alert mode and changed the conversation to Anne Romney being a stay at home mom. It worked to perfection. The discussion of Obama's economic incompetence and political cronyism fell by the wayside.

The other day I was listening to talk radio and I forget who it was that was on. But he read a long, LONG list of Obama's Green Energy failures.

 

So I went looking for it. Hold on to your socks, here. The billions of Obama stimulous money being wasted is outrageous:

 

For those who only hear about these failing companies one by one, the following is a list of all the clean energy companies supported by President Obama’s stimulus that are now failing or have filed for bankruptcy. The liberal media hopes you’ve forgotten about all of them except Solyndra, but we haven’t.

■Evergreen Solar
■SpectraWatt
■Solyndra (received $535 million)
■Beacon Power (received $43 million)
■AES’ subsidiary Eastern Energy
■Nevada Geothermal (received $98.5 million)
■SunPower (received $1.5 billion)
■First Solar (received $3 billion)
■ Babcock & Brown (an Australian company which received $178 million)
■Ener1 (subsidiary EnerDel received $118.5 million)
■Amonix (received 5.9 million)
■The National Renewable Energy Lab
■Fisker Automotive
■Abound Solar (received $400 million)
■Chevy Volt (taxpayers basically own GM)
■Solar Trust of America
■A123 Systems (received $279 million)
■Willard & Kelsey Solar Group (received $6 million)

That’s 17 (that we know of so far). We also know that loans went to foreign clean energy companies (Fisker sent money to their overseas plant to develop an electric car), and that 80% of these loans went to President Obama’s campaign donors.

lol

it was a failure the moment he proposed it.

Anything “green” (windmills,solar panels, ect) can be produced in China cheaper along with everything else. Their was no chance of this ever working without some sort of protective tariff's.

I understand the headline and Rick Moran’s concern. My local Obama Outhouse Media, the Albany NY Times Union has at least one Energy Saving article almost every day. The articles often make reference to the money savings the corporation or individual will realize by going Green. NEVER, and I repeat NEVER have they provided or quantified the amount of the Federal, state and local subsidies involved in transactions which provide the participates $$$ saving.
To add insult to injury, most of the articles run in the “Business” section.

No one is talking about it because Mittens has the same global warming agenda as dear reader.

[LibertarianLiz]

The answer to the headline question is in the headline: Because it is “Obama’s” green energy program. It really is tiresome to have to constantly try to point out the double-standard that is always at work in our media; but, this is just another example of how, if the president’s name was Bush, this would be covered non-stop.
