Renewable Energy Jobs
RON WRITES: I'm interested in a cross-comparison between the construction costs for traditional power plants and wind farms of the same output though.
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists analyst Steve Clemmer:
Renewable energy creates:
Nearly twice as many jobs as fossil fuels. 355,390 vs 197,910
$8.2 billion in income
$10.2 billion in GDP
... based upon a 20% by 2020 Renewable Energy Standard
