It's Excellent That Renewable Energy Doesn't Create Many Green Jobs For Jobs Are A Cost Not A Benefit

#Energy The Wall Street Journal has an interesting walk through some of the myths about renewable energy. It's not quite (quite!) as expensive as many think, variability isn't entirely a killer and so on. But the one that interests me most is the assertion that renewables just don't seem to be creating that many green jobs:

During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama touted the prospect that investing in clean energy could produce five million "green jobs." The idea of creating jobs helped underpin the $90 billion clean-energy stimulus in 2009 and later efforts, and remains a staple of administration rhetoric.
