The INOV8 blog tracks the latest news and trends in technology and innovation throughout the world
Our last post on the weather (aka global warming/climate change) elicited a couple of great responses. One from an IA advisor, one from an INOV8 regular.
They are worth the time. The weather again rears its unpredictable head in the New York Times blog. Green jobs are the focus. Do they promise to be good jobs? You be the judge.
Mitsubishi recently announced it would construct a $100 million plant in Fort Smith where it will manufacture wind turbines, marking the fifth such wind-energy related project announced for Arkansas in the past year.
Arkansas will never be a wind producer, but she is on her way to becoming the epicenter for wind-energy manufacturing. All told, the five new projects promise to employ more than 1,500 Arkansans.
Now there’s some good, green jobs.
I disagree with your comment that Arkansas will never be a wind producer. I have been researching this and Arkansas has the potiental to be a economically viable wind producer. It is a misnomer that it has to be the large scale windmills. The windspires and other small scale windmills are the future. Making them independent producers!
Please look into this before making a blanket statement like that!
Thank you
