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?)

How dare you sully theprof's beautiful word picture with your meaningless reality? Are you some kind of Republican or something? Who cares if every government-run green energy scheme has been a massive bust, or that countries are abandoning the Kyoto Protocol left and right?  IF WE ALL JUST BELIEVE, MAN...
