Dear XsunX, Please "Consider Kansas City"

Consider Kansas City is a phrase I find myself using more and more. I fire off random emails to companies whenever I hear about one having plans to expand or relocate. Unfortunately my credentials of "failed politician" and "blogger" do not carry much cachet with prospective employers. The responses I do receive have been lukewarm. The latest object of my affection is a California company called XsunX. They are planning on building a manufacturing facility (note to city leaders, this is considered "job creation") to produce a 5-megawatt modular solar panel to meet increasing demands for solar cell products that are integrated into buildings and houses. Unfortunately for Kansas City, we are located in a state that is singularly focused on corn liquor, err I mean ethanol. XsunX Chief Operating Officer Joe Grimes is quoted as saying "We plan to build our first facility where we find the best access to government support and a qualified work force. We are paying special attention to opportunities in California, Massachusetts and, of course, Colorado where our current facilities are located." If I can manage to find Mr. Grimes' email address I'm sure if I receive any reply at all it will consist of a "thank you for your interest" and "we'll take it under consideration." Too bad. I think Kansas City would be a fantastic place for some hi-tech manufacturing. I won't stop trying though.
