Spain’s Clean Power Folly (via Earth2Tech)

Gabriel Calzada, a Spanish economist and critic of the government’s approach to the solar market, notes that for each job his country’s alternative energy sector has created the cost to the Spanish government was $855,000. While hundreds of jobs were created during the construction phase of these alternative energy projects, few of them were permanent. Even more discouraging, according to Calzada, for every “green job” created in Spain, 2.2 jobs in other sectors were lost.

OUCH.
