Steve Kagen, North To Alaska

From the Appleton Post Crescent about companies going green (hog wash anyway). It looks like Steve Kagen knows more about Alaska then he knows about Wisconsin. On second thought, what does permafrost in Alaska have to do with green companies in Wisconsin?
"Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, said there is greater awareness today to protect the environment.

"Our climate is changing," he said.

Kagen shared a story about how permafrost in Alaska has been melting in recent years, making the ground too soft, which has led some communities there to relocate to more stable land.

"We need to devote more resources to developing smart electrical grids and buildings," he said. "We need buildings and systems that use less resources to make power and can put power back into the grid.""

The people in Niagara and the North woods must have permafrost in the ground, and it's almost April? Maybe Steve Kagen wants them to relocate to Crivits, Wabeno or Rhinelander.

Wow, that's our 8th District Congressman.

P. S . Steve Kagens staff must be on vacation or they forgot to tell Kagen what to say when he's out in public. "Permafrost in Alaska!" They need to keep him under control before he makes a gaff that will be hard to explain! Oh, I forgot to ask, how were the pork rinds at the Green Bay ofice?

2.2 Jobs Lost For Every New Green Job

Of course, the mainstream media won't report this news...
A new study revealed that 2.2 jobs are lost for every new green job.
Barcepundit reported:

If Spain's experience is any guide, there are serious job losses from green stimulus measures like the ones contemplated in Obama's plans. According to a study from King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, For every new job sustained by subsidized renewable energy at least 2.2 are lost in other industries.
