[Blog entry] Hell No! We Won't Send Our Tax Dollars to China: As a result, we've got a consortium -- U.S. Renewable Energy Group, Cielo Wind Power and A-Power Energy Generation Systems - so bold that it believes it can get nearly half a billion dollars in American Stimulus money for 2,000 Chinese wind turbine jobs.
