Where are the green jobs?

The dubSJ reports today that cities from Tampa to Honolulu are trying to invigorate their economies with green jobs. Despite the pledges by politicians from Tulsa to Honolulu, the green jobs aren't yet coming. California is, of course, banking on green jobs replacing brown jobs that will be lost with implementation of AB32. But as UC Berkeley's AnnaLee Sexenian says, it may be a bunch of hype:
People are jumping on a bandwagon. . . Washington needs something to sell. It can't be a panacea for everyone.
The green jobs won't replace all the brown jobs she says. Well, duh! It is Le Chatelier's Principle at work.
