Not only that, but everyone also gets a free pony!!

Check out this laughable excerpt from an NRDC ad:

JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! Tackling global warming will generate a jobs program of epic proportions. And it’s bigger than just solar power and wind turbines. Even more jobs will be created by producing and installing energy-saving technology — simple things like better insulation, energy-efficient light bulbs, refrigerators and air-conditioning systems. Putting smart technology into new buildings and homes will create still more good jobs. All told, going greener will create millions of new American jobs and pour billions of dollars into our struggling economy.

Pardon me for asking, but haven't some European countries already been down this path? Did it work out pretty much as advertised above?
