There is a large group of people in the world that believe that if we go green, thousand, if not millions of people, will be out of jobs. 

Around  the year of 1900 there was a large group of people who said that the invention of the horseless carriage would result in the loss of millions of jobs in the making of buggy whips. These people set out petitions and demonstrated against the manufacturing of the automobiles because of this big loss. The advent of the automobile manufacturing resulted in jobs more than a million fold.  What would have happened if the buggy whip industry succeeded in their petitions?  We would still be driving horse and carriages setting our country back hundreds of years.

Today there are many people, even the news media, saying the same thing. The question is.  Will going green create the loss of jobs?  The answer is a resounding yes.  But, think of the thousands if not millions of jobs this will create. It is a natural instinct for a person, who works in a pollution making industry, to fight to keep their position.

Going green is a movement in the right direction. Thank God that the Governments of the world are behind this movement. The industries that are against this direction, have a tremendous amount to loose. They are going to fight as hard as they can.  Even if they have to tell lies. When you hear or read these adverse stories, think of the buggy whip industry and their effort to stop progress and save their jobs.
