Actually, subsidizing green jobs destroys good jobs:

Excerpt:

For every green job created by the Spanish government, Alvarez found that 2.2 
jobs were destroyed elsewhere in the economy because resources were directed 
politically and not rationally, as in a market economy.

--

They found that in Italy, the losses were worse than they were in Spain: Each 
green job cost 6.9 jobs in the industrial sector and 4.8 jobs across the 
entire economy.

"Green investments are an ineffective policy for job creation," they say in 
their report. Despite the other merits of investments in new energy, "to the 
extent that the 'green deal' is aimed at creating employment or purported as 
anti-crisis or stimulus policy, it is a wrong policy choice."
