Why The Promise of Green Jobs Couldn't Sell a Climate Bill. By Jim Tankersley, LATimes, August 3, 2010. "From the early days of the Obama administration, environmentalists believed that they had found the message to carry them to victory in what promised to be a grueling debate over energy and climate policy. It was this: At a time of soaring unemployment, a climate bill would create thousands or millions of new 'clean energy' jobs... But those arguments lost out in the Senate to competing forces -- most glaringly, warnings that emissions limits would push electric rates higher, killing jobs and stunting growth that depends on cheap oil, coal and natural gas."
