I never argue about the fraudulent new energy economy on the basis of jobs created. It is easy to create jobs. We have had societies with almost no unemployment (we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us). The issue is the cost of the jobs created. The fraudulent new energy economy will create thousands (millions?) of jobs, many in regulating every aspect of economic production. The cost of these jobs will be catastrophic, causing work to relocate, prices to increase, lower economic production, higher taxes, and a much lower standard of living. The jobs created will be highly visible, creating a new powerful special interest group. The resulting economic carnage will be difficult to attribute to specific policies but it will be very real.

I can't disagree with anything you have said and that's why I reposted it. The only other point I'd make is that for every job the government creates, it destroys 2 or more. This is because of the inefficiency of what they do and the poor use of limited capital.
