The promise of Green Jobs realized across technology sectors & states

WAER's environmental podcast Deeper Shade of Green with Dr. Chris Bolt

Advocates for renewable energy and green transportation have long touted the job creation these technologies would produce. A report form Climate Power, an education, communication and lobbying group, details more than 700 projects that create 406,000 jobs.

On this Deeper Shade of Green, Climate Power energy advisor Jesse Lee describes where those jobs are, the kinds of projects stimulated by recent incentives, and political headwinds that could slow growth. He also shares advice for those interested in perhaps working in the sector.

Music for episode 10 of Deeper Shade of Green comes from the Syracuse-based Jazz group E.S.P., the song is Reach.
Production help, research and guest booking by Hector Perez.
