The company my engineer daughter works for is landing some work on this Obama boondoggle. She is appalled. I am going to paste her blog response and take out the company name.

She has made her dad very proud!

To XXXXXXX blog editors, in response to article title: “XXXXXXX Supports Climate Legislation to Encourage More Green Energy Production”

Have we thoroughly weighed the effects of supporting climate change/global warming? Considering the blog post on June 26th and the media reports that climate change/global warming may be a political agenda only, do we fear that the image of XXXXXXX could be damaged? Have we considered the opinions of most of the employees that work for the company? At what point does business ethics take over our zest to build new plants? Can we ethically, being a technical, scientific company, support agendas that are not scientifically proven (known fact) for favorable conditions to build our plants? In an industry where public perception is very vital, are we willing to risk a tarnished public opinion for short term gain? There are many advantages to using our technology, why not promote those and stay out of a political game?

I don’t feel as if the XXXXXXX blog and the new direction of company in their environmental and political messaging is an accurate reflection of the feelings of the people who work for XXXXXXX in the United States (at least in my office). Have you considered the cost of the loss of morale or trust of your employees? I know personally, I am very upset and uneasy with what I am seeing, and I no longer proudly state I work for XXXXXXX On the contrary , I feel as if I should put a statement on my social networking sites that I don’t agree with the direction my company is taking. I would like to see a post addressing the articles listed below that were released yesterday. Let’s be as transparent as we promote and promise.
