I can't believe how many people are against green technology.
Creating millions of jobs around the US, creating an oil independence, freeing ourselves from the yoke of the middle east, no, creating millions of jobs world-wide, as we lead the world with american made, american techology, american exports....flaunting our gorgeous green valleys, snow capped mountains, and lush meadows to a rising global power covered in smog and pollution. We will make the Chinese so envious of ours they will struggle to reform or collapse under the pressure of their own people.
We will make the call that living clean and free of waste, and having healthcare is a RIGHT, and the poor and downtrodden will overthrow their masters in revolution.
But yet republicans can't get out of their own way because Big Oil, Big Coal, and Big Farm is trying to tell us that green is the problem.
Fail guys, major fail. |
Actually if you look at Spain as an example, creating green jobs tends to come at the expense of a larger amount of non green jobs... hurts economic growth and the subsidies generally hurt the economy and well, and are part of a pattern that leads you towards default.

If the government was smart. Instead of worthless subsisides and loans, it would offer a contract for alternative energy solutions to various miitary bases and jeeps (where the cost of oil transportation is prohibitivly expensive.)
Then you create a market for green energy that makes sense, and requires green energy to improve, rathr then just collect profits off subsidies that will keep coming unless you improve your technology too much. (so why work hard to improve it?)
