The 'Green' nightmare has only begun

Topics: Global Warming, Political News and commentaries

As Skanderbeg points out at Redstate, Spain's "green energy" drive that's frequently held up to us as "a model for emulation" is proving to be a huge disappointment, as evidenced by a new report.

[...] The results have been - to say the least - not only disappointing, but very negative. The salient economic highlights are findings that: 1) For every four "green" jobs created, nine other jobs were destroyed; 2) Among those "green" jobs, only 1 in 10 was a real, full-time job. None of this is a surprise; "alternative energy" requires overly-massive use of scarce resources - resources that can only be taken away from better and more productive activities.

[...] The "Green Dream" is rapidly devolving into a "Green Nightmare" of zero-results foolishness, corruption, rent-seeking, and political destabilization. Good intentions do not obviate bad results - as physics has this strange habit of always winning. And those bad results are spilling out in all sorts of directions that go far beyond the mere supplying of energy.

And as Skanderbeg also notes, another nation which is frequently held up as a model for "green energy" is Germany, and the green dream isn't working out any better there either.
