Why do Democrats continue to promise “job creation” via “going green”?
This failed miserably at a state level in California (the same state that is very near insolvency). Why would it work on a national level?? And how many times are Democrats going to promise to create jobs?? Why not wait until you’ve created the last set of jobs you promised………..??

Obama as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sought to counter that argument.
“This is going to be a close vote because of misinformation out there that there’s somehow a contradiction between clean energy and economic growth,” said Obama. Rather than emphasizing any impact on pollution or global warming, he called the House legislation “a jobs bill” that will lead to the creation of new industries and “finally make clean energy a profitable kind of energy.”
“It will create millions of new jobs,” echoed Pelosi at a Capitol Hill press conference.
California is going under because they can’t raise taxes unless they get a 66% majority in a referendum. Your argument is like blaming trees for forest fires.
The idea is that we have to go green. Petroleum won’t last forever, it will never have a stable price and it poisons out environment (ultimately hurting us). It creates jobs in planning what new cities and design will look like, building new infrastructure, engineering new technology and producing power without drilling holes in the ground. You can’t lose.
