One of the tell-tale signs of economic illiteracy: thinking that “jobs” are a benefit, not a cost.

how many millions, if not a billion did we spend on all of Obama’s green BS? all that hard earned tax money has been laundered and stuffed into the pockets of Obama and his liberal cronies. Not no, but hell no!

“People don’t realize this, but this consensus-building is genius: Put all the people you trust in high positions - meet with all the people you don’t to make it look like you respect them.”

Agreed. I see Mr. Trump as a “big picture” guy and not one to be rigid.

To the extent climate change would alter the shorelines, the port cities, it is a huge risk.

That is true, regardless of the cause of the change.

Mankind walked from mainland Europe, to Great Britain on natural land bridges. Same for Siberia to Alaska.

What a hypocrite!!! His carbon footprint is probably 100 times more than the average working or middle-class family, and those people want real jobs, not green fantasies.

"... how to create millions of secure, American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation...."

Put them all in giant hampster wheels that are hooked to generators.

I have noticed a trend with Trump. The more he dislikes someone, the longer he meets with them.

Exactly, tell him to invest his money in solar technologies.

They did not work and were not economically viable when oil was over a hundred bucks.... let him sustain some losses to get educated.

I’m sure 50 buck oil will give him a quick education, maybe not...

He seems a little thick.

Great take on it!

Exactly right. Trump didn't build his business by alienating people. He's far more politically gifted than his detractors think. I loved the zinger of his meeting with Algore one day and appointing Scoptt Pruitt to the EPA job the next. The Green zealots can't say he didn't listen to them.

Bingo, spot on. Now he can honestly say “listen I talked to everybody. I heard 1000 different opinions and this is what we decided to do”.

“Green jobs do not exist.”

What about shoveling up the dead birds around wind turbines?

There is real savings in geothermal heating and cooling for homes, and in jobs doing such work. And it is cost effective.

The truth is that there really is no cost effective solar energy available. I earnestly looked and would have put it on my house if it could have been found. But the return on investment for similar power to what I now use was roughly 30 years. No way that such construction lasts 30 years, so before it’s even paid for itself, it’s needing to be replaced.

Wind is not feasible for powering a home. Water works if one has a source of water and a large enough fall...so that cuts out most of America.

Geothermal heating and cooling, though, makes real sense.

Is that “green jobs” as in they make green as in money, or is that “green jobs” as in they take our green to subsidize?

Ivanka is truly becoming a malign influence on her father’s choices of who to meet with.

You really think she's doing this of her own accord and her father is....what? Humoring her? I think you need to study strategic thinking a bit more.
