The Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, has a great twofer pitch: "green jobs." It sounds like a winner. In one fell swoop he can promise to end unemployment and fix and save the planet from climate change.
Or so he says.
"I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy — wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and five million new jobs that pay well and can't ever be outsourced," he told the Democratic National Convention.
Wow. Five million new jobs. All that work building windmills and creating biofuels are the "green jobs" that will come into existence when wise government creates the industries that will produce the energy and vehicles that will make fossil fuels obsolete.

“Climate change” is over. It has been revealed as being a hoax.
Obama and his ilk don’t trust capitalism. They are afraid that somewhere, somehow, someone is going to make a profit. Obama doesn’t want the private sector to do the R & D into our energy problems and come up with solutions. He wants the government to do everything, then there’s no chance that someone will get rich developing new technologies.
Excellent article. The more government intervenes, the less free market, and the free market is where products actually develop. The government produces nothing.
yay more make-work programs and boondoggles
Wondering if Obama will have the BLM rounding up the wild horses and Donkeys, and training them to pull wagonloads of the materials to the job sites for construction of all those windmills.
Just thinkin’ about all those new jobs making tack, and buckboards, Conestoga wagons, Blacksmiths, Chuck Wagons to feed the workmen. Lots of new jobs.
Where’s Gabby Hayes?
How many billions have been pi$$ed away by the FedGov on solar, wind, et al since little JImmy got into the racket back in the late 70s??
