My comment isn't related specifically to going green, but replacing infrastructure that works perfectly well just for jobs is basically the broken window fallacy in economics.
Repaving the highway every six months would "create" lots of jobs too.
- bognition 4y agoYes, except the broken window fallacy doesn't quite work here for a few reasons: First, the current technology is already breaking. It needs to be updated and maintained. So why not invest the same money in the newer tech. Two, the current technology is way better. We will be able to get more bang for our buck with the newer technologies AND they have the benefit of not poisoning our sky.
- missedthecue 4y agoI was replying more to the original claim that people should support this because it creates jobs. In general I support green energy anyway.
