(CNSNews.com) –
The Obama administration distributed
$9 billion in economic “stimulus” funds to solar and wind projects in
2009-11 that created, as the end result, 910 “direct” jobs -- annual
operation and maintenance positions -- meaning that it cost about $9.8
million to establish each of those long-term jobs.
At the same time, those green energy projects also created, in the
end, about 4,600 “indirect” jobs – positions indirectly supported by the
annual operation and maintenance jobs -- which means they cost about
$1.9 million each ($9 billion divided by 4,600).
Combined (910 + 4,600 = 5,510), the direct and indirect jobs cost, on average, about $1.63 million each to produce.
