Green jobs come at a price

Quote:
The report’s key finding is that for every job created in the UK in renewable energy, 3.7 jobs are lost. In Scotland there is no net benefit from government support for the sector, and probably a small net loss of jobs.

Will there be enough people working to support those who will find themselves on the unemployed scrap heap? I don't think so.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

What did you expect from the Greens?  Did you expect sensible, professionally considered policies?  Or dodgy, emotive spin designed to entrance the simple minded?

funny I keep reading where our mini emperor keeps telling us that this will increase jobs... maybe its at centrelink to keep up with the crowds..lol..

I reckon we could end up with just soup kitchens.. money has no value now.. after Carbon Tax it will have even less.
