Do We Really Need A Green Job Czar?
The Spanish government's renewable energy initiatives have destroyed 2.2 jobs for every new "green" job created, concludes a new study by economics professor Gabriel Calzada of King Juan Carlos University in Madrid.

Calzada goes on to observe, "The study's results demonstrate how such 'green jobs' policy clearly hinders Spain's way out of the current economic crisis, even while U.S. politicians insist that rushing into such a scheme will ease their own emergence from the turmoil," reports Calzada."Creating jobs to create wealth makes sense; creating them to destroy it doesn't. 'Green jobs' programs destroy both wealth and the other jobs that wealth could have supported," Beisner continued.
