On the Economist’s webpage there was recently a debate between Van Jones, an urban environmentalist hero who recently resigned from the Obama administration, and Andrew Morris, a British conservative, over the value of the government promoting the creation of so-called green jobs. As a lifelong, small government Republican, I find Morriss’ argument in favor of "let the free market decide" entirely unsatisfying when it comes to the green jobs issues.
