Green myths

Wow, this article gave me some things to think about! And I'm already a skeptic of most things I read. I liked the term "energy sprawl" as I just read something on LinkedIn complaining about how the southwest won't let the desert be covered in solar panels. Why can't we put them on buildings first before we start destroying the beauty of the desert? And I've never understood how green jobs would be new jobs. Won't people that have a certain type of job just be doing a different job? I know I'm naive, but that's why I'm a skeptic!
