Clean energy: 'Better for America'

Energy [R]evolution | Greenpeace USA: "Clean energy: 'Better for America'

As the report states, “According to the University of Massachusetts' Political Economy Research Institute, investments in wind and solar power create 2.8 times as many jobs as the same investment in coal; mass transit and conservation would create 3.8 times as many jobs as coal.” We project that the Energy [R]evolution Scenario would create 14.5 million more new jobs by 2050 than would be created by meeting our energy needs with continued dependence on fossil fuels."
