	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

Heather,

These are just another form of public sector jobs.  Let\&#039;s hire a bunch of people and pour a bunch of money into things that will require massive regulation or taxes to force people to &quot;want&quot; to buy our &quot;new energy&quot; do thingy!

Oh, by the way, sorry about lumping cats in with govt employees.  It was an unnecessary slander on cats!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Second, more than 80 percent of these 3 million jobs will be in the private sector, including emerging sectors such as environmental technology. &lt;/i&gt;

How many of those jobs will go to people holding H1-B visas when there aren&#039;t enough Americans with the science/engineering education to fill them?  (I&#039;m assuming &quot;environmental technology&quot; involves intellectual work like R&#038;D on materials and electro/mechanical systems rather than merely picking through trash to &quot;recover&quot; the plastics; if I&#039;m wrong I withdraw the question and wonder exactly who they plan to hire to pick through the trash for minimum wage.)]]></description>
