Back to the topic of Fisher – I was told yesterday that Bell was there and the Blade article on this press conference has a picture of Bell as well as is reporting that Bell endorsed Fisher too, which makes me wonder why he wasn’t listed on the release.

If that is socialism, then most of our US industries that have received bailouts and grants are socialist. An important part of this missed is many of these grants are not the complete amount needed. If any of these were true "socialism" then the complete amount needed would be provided by the government. I know you don't like the alternative energy field for reasons of your own Not Again, but even companies like BP are exploring alternative energy programs. Just one link as an example.

Through redistribution of wealth – socialism.

Which supports they are not a myth, even if they replace jobs that end up being phased out because of technology, they are still jobs. When jobs are sent over seas, we still need jobs here. Green jobs are not the save all, but they are an important part of replacing jobs lost.

LR – you supported my premise that green jobs are a myth with your internal combustion replacing steam analogy. there was no net gain in employment by replacing one for the other, it was merely a better technology. green building contractors will replace “conventional” building contractors. battery exchange stations will replace gasoline stations. health food restaurants replace greasy spoons. these new industries are not “in addition” to existing jobs/industries – they replace existing ones.

All of the “green jobs”, Casino jobs
are all a big joke. None of them will
bring the number of jobs or money to the State of Ohio as they state and even if some ever
will happen it will be so far in the future or not at all to help everyone they need to help and they will homeless and starve to death before it ever happens.

I’m learning as to that whole process, as to the waste aspect, which is an interesting aspect of “clean” energy too. Which then leads to the discussion of which one does more harm, nuclear waste, refinery waste, solar waste…

Perhaps the solution is to go back to horses, that waste was easier to deal with in some ways.

Well, we’ll see, I don’t think the green energy industry is doomed to failure, with or without tax dollars. Will it be able to replace some of the manufacturing jobs? No, it won’t. I have a hard time feeling as if the tax dollars given to support it are evil when you consider the amount of money the financial industry and the automotive industry have been given from government. I’d hazard a good guess they’ve received much, much more than green job industries have.

“Nuclear’s only problem is the disposal aspect, I don’t disagree it is clean energy.”

you might ask your son about the amount of hazardous waste generated during the solar cell manufacturing process. Or just google. And after they have outlived their purpose?
