Or, alternative title - "Dancing on the Green Jobs Grave"

From USAToday, "Chevrolet Volt prospects are starting to lose interest" Aug. 15:

Interest in buying the $39,995 plug-in car is starting to taper off, not only among "early adopters" but among lots of other buyers, reports CNW Marketing...

In March, more than 21% of early adopters said they were very likely to consider the GM vehicle. In the July study, that figure had dropped to 14.6%...

"In fact, all categories of new-car intenders are reporting less likelihood of even considering the vehicle."

From the NY Times, "Number of Green Jobs fails to live up to Promise" Aug. 19:

In the Bay Area as in much of the country, the green economy is not proving to be the job-creation engine that many politicians envisioned. President Obama once pledged to create five million green jobs over 10 years. Gov. Jerry Brown promised 500,000 clean-technology jobs statewide by the end of the decade. But the results so far suggest such numbers are a pipe dream.

A study released in July by the non-partisan Brookings Institution found clean-technology jobs accounted for just 2 percent of employment nationwide and only slightly more — 2.2 percent — in Silicon Valley. Rather than adding jobs, the study found, the sector actually lost 492 positions from 2003 to 2010 in the South Bay, where the unemployment rate in June was 10.5 percent.

Editor's comment - They sure had some hot shapely dancing girls though.
