The Green Definition of Profit

Posted by Gregory of Yardale at May 15, 2010 11:20 AM

A windpower advocate in France was confronted with the reality that windpower is an expensive, inefficient, money-losing proposition, and responded that wind energy is in fact profitable if you look at it a certain way.

"First, I would like to dispute the idea that Eolienne windmills aren't profitable. Once one adds all the subsidies and financial support the industry receives from the French government and the European Community, it is losing very little money."

And now you understand the economic justification behind green jobs.
