Manufacturing 2.0
Rock River Valley manufacturing experts discuss the many facets of manufacturing: technology, education, training, events, people and any other aspects of this important segment of our economy. They’ll use this blog to get the word out and solicit feedback on local and global manufacturing. They hope to better engage our employers, employees and our future work force and increase their understanding of manufacturing. |

Don Manzullo (R-IL) took to the floor of the House this afternoon to deliver the message that the proposed “cap and trade” energy plan working its way through Congress will skyrocket energy costs for U.S. manufacturers, give their Chinese and Indian competitors a huge incentive to sell more into the United States, and put many more Americans on the unemployment lines.
