How silly can government get? Our Governor is going to spend $75 million to train workers to get "green jobs". There are no green jobs. We do have manufacturing, research, administrative jobs.
If you can build a solar panel, is that a green job? How about building a car--with good mileage--is that a green job?
""We will need more workers to install the solar panels and insulate the homes and do all those things that we will need," Schwarzenegger said at Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
"We have two major problems in this state," he said. "We have high unemployment. That is crisis No. 1. Crisis No. 2 is the environment. This Clean Energy Workforce Training Program attacks both those problems."
In the real world these are construction and installation jobs--period. Calling them "green jobs" is merely a publicity stunt by politicians looking to be loved
This name calling, green jobs, may make the Sierra Club and Luddites happy, but jobs are jobs. Spending money to make yourself look sensitive is not being an adult.
We need adults in charge of our government.
