For every "green job" created, cash and opportunities -- more efficient opportunities that TRULY reflect progress and productivity -- have been lost in the real, non-political, market. A Spanish study recently released indicates that for every "green job", 2.2 real jobs have been destroyed. Why? Because if people really thought the "green industry" were a worthwhile investment that could expand their profitability and productivity, they would be investing in them NOW. Instead, people have chosen other, more productive avenues to follow. The government intervention and redirection of the usable flow of capital can ONLY inhibit the growth of the economy, only DESTROY jobs.

The profit/productivity incentives of the free market are amazing things. They help drive market participants towards those avenues that will better their lives, and as a result, they help conserve resources, utilize resources better, and create inventions that will not only help peoples' lives, but will help them make more for less, get more for less. The market incentive for profits would already have set people on a path towards "green jobs" if they were seen as better deals than what are out there now. This is not the case. Fascism is now going to destroy jobs, not create them.
