17 Apr 2019: GMB Union Scotland: GMB Scotland responds to renewable energy jobs report
Responding today (Wednesday 17 April) to the publication of the STUC Report, ‘Broken Promises and Offshore Jobs: Employment in the low-carbon and renewable energy economy’, GMB Scotland Secretary Gary Smith said:
“The report reinforces what we have consistently argued about the reality of renewables employment and the challenges posed by the transition to a low carbon economy. Ultimately, it shows what happens when politicians preach and don’t plan...

“This is what long-term political failure looks like and the price is paid in the loss of thousands of jobs and billions of pounds of prosperity to the Scottish economy, starving hope from working class communities in regions of economic deprivation like Fife.”

18 Apr 2009: Midland Reporter-Telegram: Spanish study finds 2.2 jobs destroyed for each green job created
President Obama has claimed that tax subsidies to alternative energy and environmental penalties to fossil fuels “can create millions of additional jobs and new industries.” Obama has even cited the government of Spain, “where they are making real investments in renewable energy.” However, a new study of the subsidy program implement by Spain reveals that every new job created by the Spanish government in the alternative energy area destroyed an average of 2.2 other jobs.
The study - prepared under the direction of Dr. Gabriel Calzada, an economics professor at Juan Carlos University in Madrid - discovered that only one in 10 jobs created by the program in Spain were of a permanent nature (operations, maintenance, etc.), and two-thirds consisted of temporary jobs in construction, fabrication and installation...

Well-presented. Just as are the Democrat/Left governors doing, “climate change” or “global warming” or a “new ice age” (whatever the hell it’s called today) is being promoted as the new “good reason” for lockdowns and restrictions; Consider all the “carbon emissions” that have been reduced resulting from these governors’ deliberate actions to shut down the economy and curtail social interraction. However, the lesson learned isn’t that lockdowns are a good thing ... the bigger lesson learned is that fear works amazingly well to control American “men” and women.
