Wrong thread, unless ISIS has infiltrated the solar panel and green energy sector as Brietbart had warned previously.Are these moderate anti-IS more trustworthy to receive training and equipment? We do not want them to turn against us also just like ISIS do we?

[h=1]White House announces plan to train 50,000 people, including veterans, to install solar panels[/h]
:applaud:applaud I can not say how much I love this program! Job training, new jobs, and green energy! :mrgreen: This is a great program, and I cannot think why anyone ccouldbe against this!
Does the solar panel industry need 50,000 more installers? Did anybody check?

Now, there's an idea, except I'd give it a twist: We could train ISIL guerrillas as solar panel installers. It would provide something liberals love: a jobs program for people who, between beheadings, are just misunderstood.
Anyway, I think you're in the wrong thread, buddy. You took a wrong turn somewhere between Aleppo and Albuquerque.
Not to be petty, but couldn't the federal government contract with Solyndra have included a program such as this as one of the conditions included in the half a $billion plus of government money they and Obama pissed down the drain?
Obama's holding up his part of the deal, paying back the IBEW for help putting him in the White House.
That's all it is.
I hope this doesn't dumb down America's electricians. Every four years (Presidental election time) the IBEW tries to increase it's union membership by fast tracking unqualified apprentice electricians as journeymen and you have these new journeymen electricians showing up on job sites who don't know how to pull wire. :lamo
You have to ask how many IBEW electricians are sitting at home today waiting for a call from their union local that there's a job available ?
Usually when you finish one project you're waiting weeks or even months for a new project to start up.
Would a link be too much to ask? Or are you talking out of your partisan ass again?
That doesn't answer the question. Does the solar panel industry need 50,000 more installers?
Funny all the IBEW workers I knew including my dad,that worked for a telephone company, put in 40 plus hours a week for 21 years after getting out of the military. But then you do make false claims on here on a regular basis with no links.
Did your dad work construction or did he work for the same employer all of the time ?
Veterans need jobs. Should we train them to be coal miners instead?

You're assuming again. Not all IBEW members work in construction. There are a multitude of jobs in the union that are NOT construction.
Yes, if there are unfilled positions in coal mines. No if, like me, you believe that job training is not an appropriate role for the federal government. What is the point of people training for jobs that do not exist?
That's correct, not all IBEW members work construction.
I see you back tracked a little. LOL

That's correct, not all IBEW members work construction. Those who do, find themselves in between jobs a lot.
Installing solar panels would fall under construction.
The contractor would be required to be a licenese electrical contractor.
Most electrical contractors who employ full time electricians are not union.
Your large electrical contractors who bid on large contracts tend have union electricians that are assigned from the IBEW union local. Once the contract/job is completed those electricians are usually laid off and they go back to the union hall looking for another job.
And I bet more than 3% of IBEW union members are Republicans or conservative independents.
But 97% of all IBEW political contributions goes to the Democrats.
So, you don't have a problem with union labor. You just have a problem with part-time labor.
