Title: Cry Me A Letter, Dan

Dear Dan Moadus,

your letter to the Vindy was both funny and sad today. Funny and sad that you don't want any new green jobs to come to Y-Town.

Dennis, I'll take any jobs that come to the Valley, green or otherwise. The problem is that "green" jobs don't exist. At least not in any meaningful numbers. Can you tell us just what are these green jobs that Ryan wants to train people for, and just what kind of training they need?

Do you think people require training to build or erect windmills beyond what the skill trades people in our valley already possess?

Any new job in today's economy is a meaningful number!

If Green Jobs are not jobs with a future, what kind of jobs are?

If a job that requires massive government subsidies to exist is a job of the future then our country is doomed!
