Why are labor unions and businesses backing what seems like an environmental program?
Clean energy is no longer just “an environmental program.” It is the best way for America to revitalize its economy. Since January, 2001, our country has seen the worst rate of job loss since the Great Depression. To solve our economic crisis we need more than short term stimulus — we need to invest in the growing global markets of the future, we need to rebuild the infrastructure of our communities, and we need to increase the efficiency and productivity of our economy as we preserve good jobs at home. New investment in energy independence can do all this.
