Like I said, if we the spaniards were really bad with you, you would not be long in Spain (something has not done nor France nor Italy) because you have converted my country in a dump, for the blame of the previous government, that was who allowed you to enter to my country

We do need to cut pollution, but the fix really sucks....Follow the money on the sollutions and it has nothing to do with saving the planet....

It is curious, when we spend trilions making weapons, the industry says that is to create jobs, for the price of one F-22, if you spend that money making solar or wind power plants, how many jobs would we create? much more and reducing our dependency of "presidents" never elected and kings, which is also important from a National Security point of view, and the nuclear power industry is also heavily granted by the goverments.

The detailed response to Calzada by ISTAS can be found at its website. Main findings include 1. Lack of scientific rigor (2) The ideology of the document prevents scientific analysis (3) It uses a bad definition of green jobs (4) It ignores the actual profitability of investments in renovables(5) the report ignores the Spanish FiT scheme (6) it ignores the declining costs of renewable energy (7) doesnt consider environmental externalities (8) wind energy cuts wholesale price of electricity

If you want facts then go and look up the ISTAS response to the Calzada report.

PUNTOS DÉBILES DEL DOCUMENTO DE G. CALZADA

1. Falta de rigor científico-técnico

2. La ideología del documento determina a priori e impide el análisis científico

3. Emplea una mala definición de los empleos verdes

4. Prioriza el beneficio inmediato

5. Ignora la efectiva rentabilidad socio-económica de las inversiones en renovables.

6. Desconoce el sistema de primas español de apoyo a las renovables
