Green Jobs Revolution
Van Jones begins this video with the statement that, “we need a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty.” This is from the Everything’s Cool Activist DVD. For more information on the film and campaign, go to www.everythingscool.org

WAKE UP PEOPLE! they dont give a fuck about you or anyone else they only care for themselves and all they want is your money!! im all for keeping the earth clean but this is a government takeover, and if you cant see it then your blind. tens of millions of ppl in 3rd world countries are denied electricity that would greatly improve their lives all because of this lie that c02 is bad for the enviroment.

Hi all!
Is it possible to have de lyrics of this video?
I need to transcribe for my university ( from France) Thank you so much!
GREEN is the new RED…
Epic FAIL!
Considering the substantial amount of food they were growing on a relatively small plot of land, combined with the demographics of their main clientele, this would certainly allow them to sustain their operation and be profitable without any taxpayer subsidies.
I don’t think the taxpayers, who you claim to care about so much, are too enthusiastic about subsidizing and bailing out the Wall Street robber barons that got away with what they got away with. In the U.S., the largest recipients of welfare have (always) been corporations, not the working class or poor. No one whines more often, or louder, than these corporate crooks. “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” – Warren Buffett
Unfortunately, much of the corporate world has, historically and consistently, committed acts that undermine the interests and safety of it’s employees, the environment and the rest of us. Sometimes it is unintentional while at other times – intentional. Often there is a resistance to rectifying the situation, making it necessary for the government to create regulations, enforce them and hold these entities accountable for their actions or inaction. There is some good that comes from regulation.
Absolutely not! There are not enough incentives to get the valuable stuff out of the ground in the USA now! Many, on both sides of the isle, for some reason are opposed to nuclear for rather ill-informed reasons. I happen to believe nuclear power is the future. Hey, France has caught on to it.
I happen to believe that the earth [and the earth's resources] are a gift from God to us so that we may be good stewards of it. Taking advantage of these resources is in no way an injustice.
So you are saying that we should also cut the federal incentives for Oil and Nuclear, because at the moment there are more incentives to produce oil, coal, and nuclear fuels which is a gross injustice to our PLANET.
Dr Green Thumb, You can stay in green jobs in the green waste department!
Clean Reactors as in France..say 40 of them=cheap clean safe energy! loosen the grip of the power monopoly on the US=cheap power=lower overhead=competitive buisness’s=job’s! China blasting millions of tons waist in to the air! un-regulated and taking our jobs! I think most want to be green little by little and not shoved at us at the cost of poverty
Marxist asshole
Van Jones is a communist. He knows nothing about the economy or the environment.
Green workers are taxpayers, too.
You make a good point, Takadi. There is nothing wrong with find “green” alternatives – as long as they are competitive in the market place and people aren’t forced to use them. Unfortunately, a key part of the green movement seems to be government mandates.
Going green is important. Unfortunately though, it is run by very hardcore left-wingers who feel that the only way to achieve their goals is through government regulation
That doesn’t mean free marketeers can’t provide a little competition and come up with more efficient and better solutions for the environment
Nice try. Keep it up check out esteembpo + com for social media marketing. YTUTY
That’s some wonderful communication skills you’ve got there. Try taking Speech 1101 at your local government run college.
stfu
AMEN! Ask Spain’s citizens how they like it. It costs 2.3 jobs for every 1 green job. And energy is expensive.
Green Jobs?! Are you kidding me? This is a farce.
Someone tell me what a “Green Workers” job is? To regulate the rest of us to death!
And who’s going to pay for these Green Jobs? That’s right, the TAXPAYER.
You want to ensure you have a job when you’re done with college? Be COMPETITIVE. Find your own damn job! Don’t make the rest of productive society fund your little environmental fantasy.
We are a nation of babies whining to the government to take care of us!
Myth: The world economy can be remade by reducing trade and relying on local production and reduced consumption without dramatically decreasing our standard of living.
Reality: History shows that nations cannot produce everything their citizens need or desire. People and firms have talents that allow specialization that make goods and services ever more efficient and lower-cost, thereby enriching society.
Myth: Government mandates are a substitute for free markets.
Reality: Companies react more swiftly and efficiently to the demands of their customers and markets, than to cumbersome government mandates.
