Proposition 23

[quote=flu]I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m still waiting for BGIG to provide data about the total number of green jobs there are in CA.[/quote]

Not sure about total # of green jobs, but here are 105 created via funding from the stimulus:

$3.3 million loan to Canada’s Morgan Solar Inc. to buy equipment to establish a concentrated photovoltaic solar panel manufacturing facility in Chula Vista. The project, which is expected to create 105 full-time jobs, will have an annual capacity of 10 megawatts after it begins operations next November. Morgan Solar will also provide an estimated $3.3 million in leveraged funds.

Too bad it’s to a Canadian company, but at least the jobs are being created here.

Hmm, first three job posts and I’m already looking at openings more than two weeks old.

BTW, 500,000 / 105 = 4761 or a touch over 13 years. Hopefully for the 2.3 million unemployed Californians that hiring pace picks up a bit.

Not sure about total # of green jobs, but here are 105 created via funding from the stimulus:

Afx: The 500,000 number was from BigGubment, who unequivocally claimed that there were (WERE, not going to be created) 500,000 green jobs in California.

He further went on to state, using the number of Californians employed by Big Oil (approx 20,000 give or take), that green jobs outnumbered “dirty” Big Oil jobs by 25x.

Given that its fairly easy to substantiate a claim (a quick Google search reveals the numbers employed by Exxon, Chevron, BP, etc in California), I asked him and several other posters also asked him to provide the evidence to support his assertion.

Its been crickets since. Nothing, nada, zip. The point I wanted to make is that he’s either using completely fabricated/cut-from-whole-cloth information or non-credible sources for his “facts” (see “spontaneous rectal bleeding” on the Gulf seafood thread).

If someone wants to debate, fine. But, be honest about it and bring (correct) data.
