our government in Australia is claiming that a carbon tax will create jobs. I read somewhere that for every job created by green energy, 3.7 other jobs were lost. I don't know the source of this statement or the evidence on which it was based. Can anyone supply me with this info?
Thanks

At last sanity starts to resume, nuclear is gaining credibility:
'Governments are reluctant to make such commitments at a time when the worldwide race for economic recovery means every competitive inch is guarded jealously.
Hence, the re-wording of nuclear as "safe and sustainable low-carbon technologies", at the request of France and strongly backed by Britain.
Germany, Italy and Spain have already cut state aid allocated towards developing renewable energy sources and others can be expected to follow suit.'
