Washington Times review - BOOKS: 'Green Hell'

...Mr. Milloy convincingly documents his charge that the green agenda has permeated every aspect of our daily lives, at great economic and social cost.

...most absurd about this distraction is not that it ignores the point, but how inanely it does so: “green jobs” are touted by Obama as the way to resurrect the economy. Dr. Calzada and colleagues pointed out that what they will do is actually quite the opposite. On net, they carry a much greater economic cost than if never attempted at all. And this prompts the ritual and it seems entirely irrelevant shrieking of “ExxonMobil!” to change the subject. Got it. Point clearly scored.
