Billions spent in CA but no green jobs

Greg Halvorson

A must read by Stephen Moore at American Spectator spells out the tragedy being perpetrated by environmentalists in the failed Golden State.



Among Moore's findings:

-after untold billions in taxpayer subsidies, draconian laws, and government mandates, California can now classify a full ONE-PERCENT of in-state jobs as "green."



-a study from the governor's office concludes that California environmental and workplace regulations have translated to $176 billion in lost output as well as the hemorrhage of four million jobs



-for every 3 businesses that move to California, 100 bolt like deer to greener (Ha!) pastures.



Sad doesn't describe these statistics. To anyone with a wit of common sense, "saving the planet" means destroying America. California is the canary in a coalmine, it seems, which will die alone in a regulated shaft.
