Nicely done, Bob! Already sent it to a few of my “green” friends.

This is an interesting article on the subject:

This is an interesting part:

A recent study conducted in Spain, another country with a history of strong subsidies for renewable fuels, found that the money invested in green jobs actually cost so much that the overall employment effects were negative. Increasingly, the “green jobs” mantra seems like a story we tell our children to get them to sleep.

It is great to see all these conferences scattered far and wide where by far the most interesting speakers are the ones carrying forward the principles of classical liberalism and exposing the false ‘science’ of the interventionists. For example, the North Dakota Forum!
