(CNSNews.com) - As job growth lags in the sluggish economic recovery, the Obama White House is pointing to climate change policies as a fix:
Efforts to reduce carbon pollution, far from costing jobs, will create them, a White House spokesman told reporters on Wednesday:
"Retrofitting buildings and modernizing them is one way to create jobs," Josh Earnest said. "It saves companies money in terms of their energy costs, but it also creates jobs in terms of people who are installing updated lighting, modern heating and cooling systems, and other things that make buildings more efficient."
Earnest noted that President Obama has boosted efficiency standards for the manufacture of appliances and vehicles. "All of that saves consumers money in terms of energy costs, but it also creates good manufacturing jobs here in this country," he said.
President Obama on Friday will talk about making buildings more energy efficient as one way of reducing carbon pollution.
"This is a leading trend that we're going to see all across the world that other countries and other markets are going to turn to more energy-efficient products to try to deal with carbon pollution," Earnest said.

I remember in the early days of the Obama regime.....
him touting some jobs created in a town that he visited....
turns out that the only jobs in that town were for temporary workers employed in tearing down some factory buildings for scrap.

They don't build 'em like this anymore!
Let's play the game;
OK. Retrofit buildings.
Then what?
I think South Park covered this
1. Retrofit buildings
2. ...
3. Profit!

I’ll add my corollary. Dig hole. Fill in. Profit! Repeat.
Sending mobs of brown shirted yutes around to smash hundreds of windows every night would achieve the same objective.
‘Retrofitting Buildings...Is One Way to Create Jobs’
