California measure FAILS to create green jobs>

Somebody smart enough to reduce all economics down to a single statement should at least be able to get the label right.

Wouldn't you say?

Where did Didactic say that there is nothing else to economy but his statements?

they are interchangeable with each other. and he's statements are still true, in both cases.

Energy alternatives will need the same level of government assistance to become viable. It would be helpful if we stopped the failed attempt at corn-based ethanol and divert that into more promising renewable energy alternatives.

In regards to the measure in California, there should have been oversight committee involvement at a more fundamental level and a lot earlier..

Ah finally a response that isn't trolling nonsense.

I think green tech can and should be subsidized but with extreme oversight because of the fact its so highly politicized its developed a shield to abuse and manipulation that simply shouldn't be tolerated.

Take this instance for example, more than half the money was wasted on consultants and "energy auditors".

That simply shouldn't be allowed and if it wasn't for the political hysteria surrounding the whole green tech/AGW/whatever fight then there wouldn't be so many people willing to let government contentiously use the banner of green tech as a slush fund for wealth redistribution.

That's what happened here.

People got scammed under the guise of green tech and the result was government directed money be taken away from X and given to Y.
