About those green jobs--They are expensive

IBD:
The Department of Energy is set on Thursday to announce whether nine federal loan guarantees amounting to $6.5 billion for green energy projects will get final approval.
The number of full-time, permanent jobs they would create? According to the DOE's own figures, a grand total of 283. That is nearly $23 million per job.
It's also a drop in the bucket toward the five million green jobs President Obama promised as a candidate in 2008.

That is a high price to pay for inefficient energy.  From my perspective it just does not seem worth it.  It seems to be driven more by carbon phobia than rational business judgment.
