Read in Chatt News Free Press where a German chemical company will build a 1 billion dollar facility near Cleveland to manufacture components for solar panels. Will employ around 500 people.

Also, a semiconductor plant is coming to Clarksville with supposedly a billion dollar investment going into the plant. It is supposed to take 3 1/2 years to finish but the construction effort should employ a lot of people.

And "green" jobs

sure, how much electricity is that plant going to require in the process of making these solar panels?

don't get me wrong, I think it's great that Tennessee is getting these jobs, but this whole "green" jobs blather is just that, blather.

Austin Peay also received a $6.4 million grant from the state to develop a chemical engineering technology program in conjunction with this.

I'm just happy b/c it increases my chances of remaining gainfully employed.
