That 50,000+ job figure gets thrown around as much as almost any other lie that is spread by the wind industry.
It’s kind of remarkable that no matter the size or the population of any country, wind industry reps say that 50,000+ jobs will be created by green energy. That figure is used in the States (pop. 311 million), in Canada (pop. 34 million) AND in Ireland (pop. 4 million).
What??!!! Ireland??
Just last week, the headlines broadcast the news that 50,000 jobs have been created in India thanks to green energy.
Amazing! Welcome to the fold India! You’re joining an elite privileged group of countries around the world who have had 50,000 jobs created thanks to green energy. The problem is, no one ever sees these mysterious jobs, but the renewables industry sure loves that number.
When will this house of deception and outright lies be brought down? Any other industry that lies and manipulates the public the way the wind industry does, would have been brought down by consumer groups, environmental groups, savvy politicians and lawyers a LONG LONG time ago. But as usual with anything labelled ‘green’, wind gets a pass.
