Job creation a la Gov't

[Chaz Sexington]

Oh the irony - the sustainable energy sector isn't sustainable!

So does government still create jobs, or is it the private sector? 2.2 jobs destroyed for every job created by the government in the sustainable energy sector in Spain. Obama was recently praising Spain's government for creating jobs and was considering doing it on a larger scale in the US. With many of his backers being companies like Solyndra and others in the renewable energy sector, it wouldn't seem unlikely.

What does everyone think? Should we do the same in Britain?

I think we totally should to be honest. Okay I lie lol. I was going to read through that PDF but when I saw how big it was my eyes started to glaze over and I had the 1,000 yard stare. I'd rather comment on something that I know about unless someone can simpify it

There's a summary at the start, it's not very long.

After reading that summary, which was pretty eye opening, it has to be a resounding NO.
