And as we’ve let the country’s richest rake in more and more money on the backs (and health) of common citizens, they have not created jobs but hoarded more and more of the money.

Your claim that they would lay off more people than are hired is unsubstantiated, and even utility companies will tell you that’s not true. In most cases, they don’t need to lay off anyone.

The companies then will have to lay people off to pay for the new Green Job ! Nice try obama but it won’t work.

Also, who is going to be able to afford the more expensive energy these plants will produce?

You may balk at fossil fuels but the reality is they are a lot less expensive. For a business to be profitable, the energy costs must be such that they weigh into the competitive model.

I’m not in the fossil fuel business. I am in the construction business. There is a big push to use “green” materials. In most cases, only the govt projects I do can afford it. My private clients choose traditional materials because they are more affordable.
