"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her advocacy for cap-and-trade is all about "jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs." But there's no evidence that employment has grown anywhere in the world because of energy mandates such as cap-and-trade.

A study released in March by four professors hosted by the "University of Illinois casts a great deal of doubt about green job creation.

The academics found claims of green jobs to be unsubstantiated or overstated, and that energy mandates will likely kill more jobs in other industries than they create."

She's either evil, a moron, or both. Looks like she wants to notch a couple million extra job losses with cap and tax. If she believes that this legislation will create even a small fraction of the jobs it will destroy, she ought to be tested for senile dementia right now.
