Reuters has a new report that may come as a shock to people who actually believe what comes out of the mouths of President Obama and his supporters. For the rest of us, the green jobs failure was predictable. They don’t want you to see reality, just listen to their good intentions. Never mind the billions wasted on Solyndra, Ener1 and the rest of them. Really, they tell us they mean well, so we should give them billions more and expect to have a better result.
Three weeks ago, President Barack Obama stood in front of a sea of gleaming solar panels in Boulder City, Nevada, to celebrate his administration’s efforts to promote “green energy.”
Stretching row upon row into the desert, the Copper Mountain Solar Project not far from Las Vegas provided an impressive backdrop for the president.
Built on public land, the facility is the largest of its kind in the United States. Its 1 million solar panels provide enough energy to power 17,000 homes.
And it employs just 10 people.
Three years after Obama launched a push to build a job-creating “green” economy, the White House can say that more than 1 million drafty homes have been retrofitted to lower heating and cooling costs, while energy generation from renewable sources such as wind and solar has nearly doubled since 2008.

Shocking Report: Obama’s Green Energy Programs Fail to Produce Jobs
They had to do investigate to find that one out? Seriously when the, “Big Players” of green energy that recieved Federal Loans in the billions closes shop faster than a Snake Oil Salesman, did they honestly expected jobs to be made in the Energy Sector long term?
Just 10 people? I’d think they’d need hundreds to clean the bird crap and dust off of a million solar panels.
