Stop The Green Jobs Insanity Mr. Obama!

Wind and solar might create new jobs, but it will do so at the cost of losing an equal or greater amount of fossil fuel energy related jobs.

Obama keeps hyping "green" jobs as if every new green job will result in a net increase in overall jobs. But, nothing could be further from the truth.

In Spain, it was determined that two jobs were lost for every new green job that was created as the nation's energy costs were more than doubled in that country's "green" efforts (Click to See Full Story: "Job Losses From Obama Green Stimulus Foreseen in Spanish Study").

In the U.S., the losses could be even higher if the last vestiges of manufacturing operations in this country are moved off shore in order to remain globally competitive as our energy costs keep rising. Furthermore, other jobs could be lost to overseas locations if the EPA creates oppressive carbon regulations or if "Cap and Trade" legislation is passed.

China, India, and Indonesia must be doing cartwheels over Obama's green jobs program. China should be especially happy because billions of dollars in wind turbines are being imported into this country -- giving their economy (not ours) a big boost in job creation. Here's just "one" example: (Click to See Full Story: "Chinese and American Partners to Build Big West Texas Wind Farm").

The Green jobs plan is the "liberal" agenda of the eco nuts of this world. In the end, jobs will be lost and businesses will be killed by extremely high energy costs.

By The Way: Besides Greece and Portugal, Spain -- a leader in creating green jobs in Europe -- is one of the three current European Union countries who are near financial collapse. Obama keeps saying "green jobs" will save our economy. Obviously, Spain didn't benefit from their efforts to go green. In fact, it might be why they are in such bad shape.

Excellent...you are so correct and it just kills me that this information isn't the headline on every newspaper and media message every day until these "Green" monsters quit the nonsense! It is dangerous nonsense and they are playing with our lives here....
