Green Jobs Epic Fail

The failure of the “green jobs” scam is becoming so obvious that even the New York Times has noticed, with a story today headlined    And even   The whole “green jobs” enthusiasm is likely to go down in policy history as the energy/environment equivalent of the Great Society/War on Poverty/”Model Cities” social engineering of the 1960s.If you’re interested in a thorough takedown of the whole subject, see the Cato Institute’s terrific book on the subject, , written by Roger Meiners, Andrew Morriss, William Bogart, and Andrew Dorchak.  Or if you are in the mood for a shorter treatment, see by Robert Michaels and Robert Murphy, from our good friends at the Institute for Energy Research.And then repeat after me: the only true “green” job is the kind where the “green” comes from a genuine profit-making enterprise.
