Green Jobs In America
By Ben Cohen
David Roberts of Mother Jones tells us the truth about Obama's 'Green Job' revolution:
Does the administrative assistant in the front office of a solar power
company count? How about the vanpool driver? Using extremely generous
assumptions, energy economist Roger Bezdek calculated that green jobs
accounted for about 5 percent of the US workforce in 2006. That's not
shabby, but it's a long way from a clean, green economy.
