When we say that green energy will create jobs, what we mean is that in order to produce the same amount of energy with green energy sources, we will have to employ more people, as compared to now. That’s not an argument in favor of green energy; it’s a strike against it. It may well be that the benefits of shifting to green energy (or the consequences of not doing so) make it worth doing anyhow, but all the jobs that will (theoretically) be created are not among those benefits; they are costs.
