Support Obama's Plan to Create Half a Millions Green Jobs!

David Anderson
Last week, President-Elect Barack Obama's said that his economic stimulus plan will create half a million new green jobs for America.

"We'll create nearly half a million jobs by investing in clean energy - by committing to double the production of alternative energy in the next three years, and by modernizing more than 75% of federal buildings and improving the energy efficiency of two million American homes," the president elect said. These made-in-America jobs building solar panels and wind turbines, developing fuel-efficient cars and new energy technologies pay well, and they can't be outsourced."

The statement came as Obama discussed his plans to create 3 to 4 million new jobs nationwide. He also said that immediate and dramatic steps must be taken to reverse the current economic downturn.

As a candidate for president Barack Obama made it that clean energy and green jobs would figure heavily into his plan to invigorate the economy. As president-elect Obama has remained true to that commitment. But he can't do it alone.
