So much for all of these green jobs promised.

News from BNN:

TILLSONBURG, Ont. – Hundreds of people will be losing their jobs in Tillsonburg, Ont., after a major international company announced the closure of a factory manufacturing wind turbine blades.

The company says it will provide career counselling and job placement support for all employees.

Siemens described the decision as a difficult one, but said the plant was simply not viable given drastic shifts in the demands and profitability of the industry.

As with much else, the business, and the jobs, are increasingly heading to China.
