Green jobs are a waste of space, a waste of money, a lie, a chimera. You know that. I know that. We’re familiar with the report by Dr Gabriel Calzada Alvarez of the Rey Juan Carlos University in Spain which shows that for every “green job” that is created another 2.2 jobs are LOST in the real economy.
We also know that alternative energy is a fraud – only viable through enormous government (ie taxpayer subsidy) and utterly incapable of answering anything more than a fraction of our energy needs. As Shannon Love puts it here:
Here’s a fact you won’t see mentioned in the public policy debate over “alternative” energy:
There exists no alternative energy source, no combination of alternative energy sources, and no system of combinations of alternative energy sources that can fully replace a single, coal fired electric plant built with 1930s era technology.
Nada.
Zero.
Zilch.

There is a viable alternative energy source which doesn’t emit GHGs but say the word “nuclear” to the enviro-wackos and they start to have a melt down.
#1 — Agreed but what to do with nuclear waste is a problem?
Today’s nuclear plants aren’t like the ones built in the 50s and 60s. The newer energy extraction methods are so efficient, they’re reprocessing nuclear waste previously believed to be unusable. If we spent 10% of the money being wasted in “cap and trade” schemes on research into improving nuclear technology, within a decade they would find ways to reduce the waste to effectively nil.
