Just me dropping by your post. =) Nice one by the way..I just bought “The Green Collar Economy” by Van Jones, and I think it’s a good book that you would find interesting, if you have the time =) Van Jones describes a way to restructure the economy to solve both the problems of unemployment and environmental degradation through the creation of “green” jobs which are unlikely to be outsourced and yet provide good wages.

Carry on rocking =)

Cheers,
Ryan

Wind power employs more people (in the entire industry supply chain) than coal mining does (85,000 jobs vs 81,000 jobs). But wind does not yet employ more people than the coal industry as a whole. While the rest of their op ed is great, we only get ourselves in trouble and ruin our credibility if well known figures like Mr. Ban and Mr. Gore make exaggerated claims, which are then picked up and repeated throughout the world.
