Green Energy: Tilting at Wind Turbines

Does mandating "Green Energy create jobs? Does it make sense? Who pays the cost? How is it working in California, the leader in "Green Energy"? Not surprisingly, as with any use of government force the actual results don't match what the advocates of force promise.

Is renewable energy really a green pathway to a brighter economic future? Or is it nothing more than a heavily subsidized impossible dream?
