Not only are many of those who would like to see climate change policies themselves bumbleheads on economics, but they are a front (many no doubt in good faith) for a whole class of rent-seekers who are looking for Obama to turn on the pork spigots.

It never ceases to amaze me the theoretical and philosophical inconsistency exhibited by green job advocates that "efficiency" in the use of energy is better than manna, yet efficiency in the use of labor or capital should be discarded. For those sure-to-comment that prices don't include environmental externalties, I just want to point out ex-ante that those values HAVE been quantified, at least in California, and do not offset the price premium for those technologies favored by the interventionists. I admit, I'm not sure they use the technologies to justify intervention, or use intervention justify those technologies.
