Going Green Will Put Us In The Red or: The "Red Green Show"...in reverse

One of the cornerstones of the current administration's economic policy has been using 'green' to create new jobs and spur on the economy(you know, the Van Jones plan) to get us out of the 'red' and save the planet. As I've said, just about every bad idea I've ever heard of originated in Congress or the White House.

Heh.

Well, leave it to our precise Tuetonic friends to blow that idea out of the water with this study. OK, its 40 some-odd pages, but you can refer your green-o-phile friends to it. If you're wanting the Cliff's Notes, go here.

Now, if you've never seen the "Red Green Show", you may not understand the reference, so go here for a tutorial. It ran for 15 years and was an absolute scream. And just as an example, this is how you make apple juice the Red Green way. Note the liberal use of duct tape, the "handyman's secret weapon". If only the White House or Congress could be this creative...

So, the next time you hear someone extol the virtues of a 'green' economy, just say...

"What are ya, nuts?"
