Reply #5: New jobs for new energy.

[skids]

Where are jobs to replace those that have bled from this country under five years of Bush going to come from? Well, the energy sector seems an obvious choice. An out-of-work wiring contractor could learn solar PV installation. An out-of-work landscaping company could dig geoexchange heat pump trenches. An out-of-work real-estate agent could learn how to perform home energy audits and the financials of renewable heat and electricity. An out-of-work assembly line worker could assemble solar panels, micro-generators, or batteries.

And an out-of-work steel worker could make giant wind turbine blades and towers.
