Those include replacing management personnel, hiring more auditors in the maintenance program and setting up two maintenance technical teams, one in Atlanta and a second at Dulles International Airport.
Proponents of the so-called alternate engine have never made a very convincing case for why the government benefits from paying for two design teams, production lines, supply chains and maintenance systems.
The United States will still gain many new green-collar jobs in installation and maintenance, which can only be locally based, as well as sales teams, conference planners, and other positions already arising to support the growing green-tech field.
