"Europe's current policy and strategy for supporting the so-called 'green jobs' or renewable energy dates back to 1997, and has become one of the principal justifications for U.S. 'green jobs' proposals," Calzada writes. "Yet an examination of Europe's experience reveals these policies to be terribly economically counterproductive."

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.

Spain's population is shrinking at such a fast rate (1.1 births per female), they won't need many jobs.

Green Policy is a perfect match for a dying race.
