Think About What Michigan’s Unemployment Rate Would Be With Out All Those Green Jobs
I would be afraid to think of what Michigan’s unemployment rate would be with out all those ‘Green Jobs’. Via TSOM:
In the field of renewable energy, MSU Extension will assist in developing community-based wind and solar energy projects as well as support the growth of biomass-based companies. Biomass is plant material used to produce energy. MSU’s Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, partnering with MSU Extension, already is working on biomass and energy issues.
“As Michigan continues to grow its green economy, MSU Extension will be there to help,” Granholm said. “Its new programs and partnerships will spur innovation, economic development and regional cooperation. As we build a new economy based on clean energy, we can all agree that now is the time to ‘Go Green.’”
Michigan’s unemployment rate is 15.3% and all Governor Granholm can say is go green? Her administration is on pace to lose 1,000,000 jobs by the end of her 8 years in office, and all she can say is go green…I can’t believe Granholm has the nerve to actually release a press statement like this.
I know that this has escaped her but it’s a fact that for every 1 government subsidized ‘green job’ created in Spain, they destroyed 2.2 private sector jobs. I don’t know why anyone would expect different results here.
To put it another way, if Granholm canceled this green job nonsense, she could actually help create few jobs. For a change.

The 2 MSU programs were blackmailed into supporting “rust to green” by Granholm budget veto threats. Sheesh.
We are dealing with exactly the same thing here in Oregon. These guys just don’t get it.
@Cynical Synapse: Destroy jobs, drive up utility rates, make our state less competitive but we will ‘go green’.
That is quite a plan from our governor.
@Scott Ball: No they don’t.
Michigan is a preview what we can expect if the Fed’s get their way with cap&tax…
The only “green” that’s going anywhere in this state is business investment, personal income and home equity.
@Dewey From Detroit: All the ‘green’ is leaving the state…In a hurry.
