How Obama's Green Energy Agenda is Killing Jobs

Facing the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, President Obama
confronted the crisis by promoting "green jobs" as a major component of his recovery strategy. He promised that these programs would create five million jobs within ten years. He cited the efforts of other nations as the rationale to try and subsidize our way to energy independence. Yet, the other nations who tried this experiment have struggled and after nearly three years and billions of spent taxpayer dollars later, the American people have received very little return on
President Obama's signature investment.

With unemployment at a staggering 9.2 percent, the ill-fated "green jobs" experiment has done little to create jobs or speed recovery; in fact, by many accounts it has destroyed jobs. This is a dangerous strategy that will drastically increase the price consumers pay for energy, hurt economic growth, and restrict job creation.
