Madison WI. and the Milwaukee area are abuzz about a solar panel factory coming to Madison WI.
From jsonline: A California company that plans to make solar panels will open a plant in Wisconsin and move its corporate headquarters and research and development facilities to Dane County, ultimately creating about 620 jobs, Gov. Jim Doyle said Thursday.
W Solar Group, of Chatsworth, Calif., will open its headquarters and R&D facilities as soon as the first half of next year and begin manufacturing in 2012, according to Doyle's office.
The state helped attract the company to Wisconsin with $28 million in enterprise zone tax credits. The project represents a capital investment here of more than $300 million, Doyle's office said. http://www.jsonline.com/business/112683524.html
Try Googling the company name and you get nothing. No company web site. You would think a company that big would at least have a web site. Or an address and phone number you can find on Yahoo and Google.
Of course, the company is getting "incentives" to "come" to Madison. Well, my money says they are not going to live up their commitment. As I have documented before, green energy companies rush into a new city with lots of promises of jobs and buildings and after awhile, they either drop their plans, limit their plans or just plain leave a city hanging, like Boulder City, NV.
So, Madison, you probably are going to be in for a big disappointment, just like Wisconsin Rapids and Henderson, Boulder City and the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada.
Harry Reid was good at this just before the election. He would hold a press conference with some company and the lap dog media would be in tow. He would make grandious speeches how these companies would be coming to the Las Vegas area. Have we seen any of these companies since the election. Nope. No way. No how.
