In March 2009,
Gabriel Calzada Alvarez, a professor at Juan Carlos University in Madrid, found that "the Spanish/EU-style 'green jobs' agenda being promoted in the U.S. in fact destroys jobs."


In October 2009,
Consider Germany. It began a renewable energy program that has neither paid off nor lived up to its green promise. This unsurprising conclusion is found in "Economic impacts from the promotion of renewable energies: The German experience" published by RWI, a German research center.


In May 2010,
Researchers from the Italian think tank Istituto Bruno Leoni have published similar findings about their country. There, "each green job cost 6.9 jobs in the industrial sector and 4.8 jobs across the entire economy."

In April 2011,
'Instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy sources, we need to invest in tomorrow's," Obama said in his weekly radio address of April 23. "We need to invest in clean, renewable energy."

"Green" energy increases costs and destroys jobs. The only debate is how much costs go up and how many jobs are lost.

Here are the cited studies:
