A headline in today’s News & Observer proclaims: “Duke study says ‘going green’ will grow jobs in U.S.“
It’s unfortunate that neither the study nor the article contains information that would generate an accurate subhead: “Unless the government forces the ‘greening’ through mandates, restrictions.”
When the government takes steps that pull resources from their most efficient uses, the economy loses jobs. For example, if North Carolina adopts climate-change ideas now on the table, the job losses could number in the tens of thousands.
