People working in office buildings are not "green employment" by definition. <br /><br /><br />In my opinion, the greenest jobs possible at the present time would be working on new nuclear plants in any capacity.<br /><br /><br /><br />Note: much of the jobs above will end up being performed by men, many of them hispanic working-class men. I dont think I can envison many females working in factories making wind turbines or solar disks, but who am I kidding....that stuff will be made in China anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-7186887822170471332009-12-30T19:42:54.858-08:002009-12-30T19:42:54.858-08:00"But taken together, those jobs represent les..."But taken together, those jobs represent less than 1 percent of employment in the state, according to the report's authors.

Although knowing the regressive, neo-feudalist policies of the various "green" proponents, you have to wonder if this is a feature, not a bug. Does anyone really think that the likes of Van Jones would be unhappy to harm the U.S. economy? A new green bubble would be an excellent way for the Left to undermine the middle class while steering tax dollars to radical environmentalists, minority grievance-mongers like Jones, and other identity politics parasites.Nine-of-Diamondsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-47961640272188875772009-12-12T09:10:27.283-08:002009-12-12T09:10:27.283-08:00"...

By continually broadening the definition of 'AIDS', the scammers manipulated the appearance of a spreading epidemic.<br /><br />So now carpenters & electricians are "greeen" jobs. What's next?
