NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- President Obama announced on Friday that he will expand solar energy use and create more jobs through renewable energy initiatives. He claimed that expanding solar energy use will create jobs, lower consumer prices and save companies billions of dollars. He praised Walmart (WMT)WMT, General Motors (GM)GM, Apple (AAPL)AAPL and Home Depot (HD)HD for their commitment to lowering energy costs. He suggested that by lowering energy costs, companies like Walmart can offer lower prices to consumers and create more jobs. He stated that Walmart will save as much as 1 billion dollars a year in energy costs.
Walmart isn't going to pass that savings onto it's employees, or it's consumers. This is capitalism, not some philanthropic endeavor. Companies want to make money, as they should, but to present clean energy initiatives as if they were to save the planet is insulting to the American public. Plus, making an announcement at Walmart, a company known for mistreating their employees by paying them as little as possible, and it's antiunion stance was a bad choice.
