Reader A.P. takes the green jobs “argument” to its logical conclusion:

I can see a whole new economic program arising out of the boast that solar technology “produces more jobs per megawatt of energy produced than any other form of energy.”
After all, why stop with energy production? In every industry, let’s opt for the method of production that produces the most jobs. I can foresee machinery being produced through hand-forged parts made by individual blacksmiths; buildings constructed from mud brick by crowds of laborers; earth being turned in the fields by plows drawn by horses (or farm-wives); goods and passengers being shipped by caravans of camels. Think of all the jobs we would create!

UPDATE: Reader M.E. observes:

If we want to produce lots of green jobs I think hamster power is the answer. The care and feeding of all the critters required to produce 1 MW of electricity should keep the whole country employed.
