Green energy triumph: $11,000,000.00 spent per job created

Green energy triumph: $11,000,000.00 spent per job created | Human Events:
“Without much fanfare, the Department of Energy (DOE) recently updated the list of loan guarantee projects on its website,” the Institute for Energy Research noticed on Wednesday.
”Unlike in 2008, when Barack Obama pledged to create 5 million jobs over 10 years by directing taxpayer funds toward renewable energy projects, there were no press conferences or stump speeches.”
Uh-oh.
Why weren’t there any celebrations?
President Obama loves a good celebration.
Why, we just found out about the super-secret star-studded bash he held after his inauguration.
Maybe it’s because the IER divided the $26 billion spent on “green jobs” by the Energy Department since 2009, divided it by the 2,298 permanent jobs created, and came up with a cost of $11.45 million per job."
