I just thought this article was interesting for a couple reasons...
It is about solar energy...it never lived up to it's expectations...it was given millions in incentives to come to NM. And the very last line of the article...
Over the last year, solar operations have been shutting down across the United States unable to keep up with the china and its lower-cost manufacturing processes.
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Schott Solar never lived up to its promises of high-paying jobs, and now with the decline of the U.S. Solar industry is shutting down its New Mexico plant.
That means 250 people are going to be out of a job.
Schott Solar started telling their employees at the Albuquerque plant at Mesa del Sol Thursday afternoon.
One part of their plant will close Friday laying off 200 people. The rest of the operation will ramp down over the summer with the remaining 50 workers losing their jobs then.
