Despite the many green failures associated with the Obama administration’s investment in “green energy,” there has been one noteworthy success.
The Hamwheel Electric Company (HEC), in Wheeling, PA, has been successfully generating electricity on a near continual basis for several months. A union spokesperson at the facility said that, “The workforce does not complain, although the effort necessary to keep the facility generating electricity requires near constant activity.”
When interviewed by teaparty911.com, a plant employee said, “Sure, some days I feel like we’re all just going in a circle here, but we know how important green energy is to attaining energy self-sufficiency for America. So, we’re all happy to be part of the Obama Green Team.”
