What in the world is a green job anyways?

can anyone give me some insight and let me know what a green job is?? sorry i can't think of any off the top of my head....

Update:

creating more efficient cars is not green... they take more energy to make and dispose of than gas guzzlers..

solar and wind systems are not green because you must have the gas powered tools to construct them, the heavy machinery to put them together, and the gas guzzling 18 wheelers to transport the parts around..

    Something made up to feed the pretentious egos and sheep that follow. It is justification for a job being low-pay and low wages. It really doesn't exist and never will but feelt hat jobs will be with it for this very reason. You will seem cool for having one although you are getting paid nothing. I find this movement to be disgusting and nothing short of a scam so those that fund the campaigns can get paid back.

    I don't think that those who support this "green movement" are aware of the consequences of cap and trade...even if they know what it is.

    I conserve water, electricity, gasoline and I recycle my beer cans and bottles. I don't feel that I am being green doing this and don't need to be smug about it. Neither do you.

    Source(s): Acorn, an Organic Grocery Store or even installing solar panels are not green jobs. They don't exist.

    [solar and wind systems are not green because you must have the gas powered tools to construct them, the heavy machinery to put them together, and the gas guzzling 18 wheelers to transport the parts around..]

    But once they are there...it is clean electricity for years to come.

    Republicans used to understand log-term planning. They USED to be good at it.

    What happened?

    Manufacturing electric cars, building wind turbines. Those are obvious ones. I'm not an expert in the field, but it makes a lot of sense to create more jobs in the 'green' industry in the United States, when so many other manufacturing jobs are being outsourced to developing nations for the cheap labor.

    Obama hasn't saved or created my interest yet at my interest we've openings to fill yet we will not by using certainty the organization won't have the skill to have sufficient money to hire human beings to alter people who end. i anticipate if one thinks like a liberal, you're in a position to call those unfilled jobs as being saved. the challenge is that i think of of my organization has found out that if we are able to proceed to paintings and prosper with much less workers than we had jointly as the downturn contained interior the financial device began, then they won't could prefer to fill those jobs so consistent with threat you're in a position to no longer call them saved jobs regardless of each little thing. damn, that Obama saved jobs formula is complicated to appreciate. i think of of this could be a mathematical formula that is going like this " no longer some thing from no longer some thing, leaves no longer some thing." LMAO

    For Communists, the linkage is to Pol Pot and his "greening" of Cambodia/Kampuchea; the creation of a "worker's paradise" by placing every person into an agrarian economy. Apologists to the butcher continue to cite "external forces" that forced the mass extermination of innocent women, children and the elderly to keep the revolution moving forward.

    corking Volcanoes

    making ice for Polar Bears

    pumping water out of New Orleans/Holland/Bangladesh constantly

    jumping up and down trying to prevent global axis shift

    pounding in stakes to keep tectonic plates from moving

    letting forests burn away instead of logging fire-breaks

    blaming Bush (this hot air will reverse hurricanes)

    keeping an eye out for meteors so when you finally see one you can point at it and say, "The plane Boss, the plane." and nothing else

    stopping the Sun from making heat/light/radiation (sunglasses?)("Rose" colored?)

    & rewriting history under a green light, so to make natural events seem like your fault ... spread guilt.
