Need A Job With Greener Prospects?



Save the Date; The Middle Class Task Force, created by President Obama and led by Vice President Joe Biden, will hold its first meeting on February 27th, which will specifically focus on green job creation. The meeting hopes to position green job creation as a “pathway to a strong middle class.”

This is part of President Obama’s multifaceted strategy in the Recovery Plan that promises to put 460,000 Americans back to work in the clean energy sector. The Task Force hopes to use the meeting to discuss the positive impact that green job creation will have on the middle class of America.  The Obama Administration believes that “more green jobs means more money” to the middle class and that green jobs “strengthen the foundation of this country.”

The strategy outlined in the Recovery Plan, calls for the creation of over 3,000 miles of new smart power grids, incentives for solar panel and wind turbine manufacturers, weatherizing of homes and office buildings and the renovation of schools.

Points you can expect will be covered at the meeting;

• The strategy to create Millions of New Green Jobs for Middle Class America
• Goals to ensure 10 percent of Our Electricity Comes from Renewable Sources by 2012, and 25 percent by 2025.
• Strategy to deploy the cheapest, cleanest, fastest energy source – Energy Efficiency.
• Incentives to encourage weatherizing of one million homes annually.
