Let’s check in and see how the Clean Energy Jobs Act that California voters approved in 2012 (which progressives like billionaire Tom Steyer would love to take national) is living up to its billing:

Three years after California voters passed a ballot measure to raise taxes on corporations and generate clean energy jobs by funding energy-efficiency projects in schools, barely one-tenth of the promised jobs have been created, and the state has no comprehensive list to show how much work has been done or how much energy has been saved.
Surprised? Probably not:
Oh look; @TomSteyer's green jobs scam is a total failure. https://t.co/xhmwM8I7n3

@AP proves what most people know.. increased taxes do not create jobs.. they cost jobs.

Better to have one Moonbat state fail than to have the entire country destroyed by crackpot Moonbat scams !#COSProject ??— Norman Linnell (@NormanLinnell) August 17, 2015
When will people learn that anytime you give the govt more revenue, it will inevitably waste it and demand more? https://t.co/Cn6FZXFabq

@AP This calls for a California solution, raise taxes even further. What could possibly go wrong.

Worse yet, the White House is determined to recreate that kind of green jobs “success” on a much larger scale.
