The Answer Really Isn’t Blowing in the Wind

From William Sullivan’s column in The American Thinker:

In the natural world, 90 billion goes a long way. But as we’ve discovered, a $90-billion investment to subsidize renewable energy sources in the natural world does surprisingly little. This amount, allocated in 2009’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to subsidize green energy initiatives, has thus far yielded today’s bustling “renewable-energy sector” that employs roughly 140,000 Americans. And even that dismal figure is wildly inflated. Consider that according to Hans Bader of the Examiner, “most of America’s existing green jobs predate the Obama administration, which did not create them.”
