Gregor Robertson Should Read this about Green Jobs

Green-jobs.jpg

Mayor Gregor Robertson better not hear about this view of Green Jobs from The Atlantic's Megan McArdle:

"But green jobs have become the ginseng of progressive politics: a sort of broad-spectrum snake oil that cures whatever happens to ail you. They are the antidote to economic malaise, an underskilled labor force, the inherent unwillingness of the public to suffer any significant economic and personal dislocation in order to save the environment. They enhance nationalistic vigor. (If we don't act now, the Chinese will steal all of our green jobs!) They stave off aging of stale political platforms. And I'm pretty sure they're good for bunions, too."

But he should open up his little green head and give it a shake.
