This is another example of the triumph of ideology over reality.

Let me put it very simply, so that even a child could understand it.  Stopping the sale of equipment for a coal fired power plant in India will not stop the project.  It will not prevent the emission of carbon in any respect.  The Indian company will buy the equipment somewhere else.  The only thing that will change as a result of the decision is that 984 Americans will lose their jobs – 984 families will be closer to the wall, not because of anything they did, not because America can’t compete, but because the Obama Administration has hardened itself against the persuasions of reality.  So now these people must beg the President for permission to support themselves and their communities.

Why manufacturing is in trouble in the United States?  Well, this is the reason.  Our government regularly kicks manufacturing in the teeth, with high taxes, extreme regulations, out of control liability, poor transportation systems, and bureaucratic tyranny.  Then the politicians wring their hands in front of assembly lines that have closed and try to distract voters into blaming someone else.
