Germany has the best feed in tariff in the world right now and they have the strongest economy. They are also shutting down their nuke energy as well. Why is it so hard for some people to just get the facts, why do some people have problems letting go of the past, there is no profit there.

Lets see, economists do studies like this one, and you couch potatoes sit around thinking you are smarter cause you sit around doing nothing. That makes sense.

yeah, seriously, the claim that green jobs kill more dirty energy jobs is ridiculous. investing in green energy has a greater net effect on jobs than investing in any other energy sector.

I would be interested to know how new jobs in renewable energy cancel other “real” jobs. Also I would like to know how the bank fraud recession, and the resulting stock market crash since 2007, causing high unemployment around the world can be used to blame renewable energy, which is the fastest growing source of new jobs in the world? It is one thing to make baseless assertions, but something else to make those assertions believable.

Since the authors readily admit “All such data is highly uncertain and is based on sets of assumptions that, as technologies and technology markets mature, may prove errant.” Any assumptions and predictions should be taken with a grain of salt, but still it’s worth pursuing green jobs.

Ask Spain how that’s working out for them with their 16% unemployment and more investment in “green jobs” than anybody. I read a study last week that every “green job” created costs 2.2 real jobs.
