Green Jobs Destroy Good Jobs

Commonwealth Foundation for Public Policy Alternatives "A focus on green jobs discourages overall economic growth by redistributing private sector wealth to uncompetitive and unsustainable energy providers. Higher electricity prices hurt small businesses, resulting in fewer jobs. The plan to heavily subsidize “green” energy sources while simultaneously mandating their use is a prescription for economic decline rather than prosperity."   Katrina Currie is a Research Associate for the Commonwealth Foundation (www.CommonwealthFoundation.org), a public policy education and research institute located in Harrisburg.
