2) It doesn't take a PhD in Economics to see that our manufacturing base has been decimated and those jobs aren't coming back. So why not manufacture the green technology the world wants to buy and then sell it to them at a profit?
.
Because you cant sell it for a profit you can only sell it if it is subsidized by upwards of 50%. You do know about Solyndra where we gave one of the richest men in America a 500 million dollar taxpayer guaranteed loan because he kicked back enough money to the right (left) politico dont you.

Ask your economists where (and why) the green manufacturing jobs go after the technology is developed:
