Yes, except the broken window fallacy doesn't quite work here for a few reasons: First, the current technology is already breaking. It needs to be updated and maintained. So why not invest the same money in the newer tech. Two, the current technology is way better. We will be able to get more bang for our buck with the newer technologies AND they have the benefit of not poisoning our sky.

I was replying more to the original claim that people should support this because it creates jobs. In general I support green energy anyway.
