Green Jobs Push


This week President Obama announced a tax credit for clean energy, that amounts to a whopping $2.3 billion, and is expected (according to Obama's own estimates) to create 17,000 new jobs for all the Americans who are facing double digit unemployment rates as we continue to work our way back from the recession.

Obama was quoted as saying ""Building a robust clean energy sector is how we will create the jobs of the future, jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced." Companies that stand to benefit from this clean energy tax credit include Itron Inc, PPG Industries, and TPI Composites, Inc, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In his statement announcing the move towards green jobs and clean energy, Obama also said ""It's clear why such an effort is so important. Building a robust clean energy sector is how we will create the jobs of the future, jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced..."

His agenda altered by the Christmas bombing attempt, President Barack Obama pivoted back to the domestic economy on Friday, promoting new U.S. spending to create tens of thousands of clean-technology jobs. He outlined the initiative after a weak government jobs report raised new questions about the sustainability of the recovery.
