President Barack Obama spoke in Colorado today as part of a nearly around-the-clock campaigning tour.
The President goofed up when talking about the desire for wind turbines being manufactured in America, saying he wanted them manufactured "here in China."
He quickly corrected himself by saying, "I don't want them manufactured in China."

He's the Manchurian candidate; sometimes he slips up. Brainwashing isn't perfect.

China exports about 95 percent of the world’s Rare Earth Metals supply.
Can't make Wind Turbines without Rare Earths.
GM and Toyota are working on substitutes.
Hitachi made an electric motor without Rare Earths.
Rare Earth Metals are in basically everything from smart phones to US military weapons.

The greatest number are made in India closely followed by Brazil. The Port Of Houston has a special facility set up to receive them off of ships and transport them by convoys to the wind farms.

It is almost impossible to make the blades here in the US with all of the EPA regulations and such it would cost a fortune to build the plant and take years for approval if it was approved at all.
A friend I know builds boats and wanted to expand his plant, until he found out that if he made any changes at all he would have to meet all the current regulations. Once he found out that it would cost a small fortune and drive up the price of his boats he decided to not change a thing, effectively killing jobs that would have been created in construction and manufacturing.
