Jobs Created or Lost Due to Carbon Caps?

The White House contends that jobs would be lost if we had to live with a carbon cap. Let's see - would you rather have a job building wind turbines or mining coal? Would you rather have a job updating the electric grid or drilling for oil? Would you rather have a job accelerating Solid State Lighting or no job (we already know how to make cheap, inefficient incandescent light bulbs).
