Green Green Business

What is the name for this job? Someone who creates "green" forms of energy and materials for mass usage. Like developing solar panels or ways to capture wind energy. Or like creating "green" houses that use very little energy.

so what if it takes away jobs dont you think this planet is worth more then that? i seen GMC truck dodge and ford getting bigger and bigger.. why do people need such a big thing? YOU DONT! all the money they use for production on then things that pump pure carbon into the air could go into production of Energy efficient cars and truck.. then with the production you would have your jobs back dont you think?
jnt: if your daddy works at ford then he can go work some other place BIG DEAL its only a job ..there other job.. besides maybe he could work at a new company making energey efficant cars.. and the comment about God! well God is helping he is showing us the damage and for the humans to use there brains!!!
cambl:stop having kids! population is part of the problem, and you think becuase new cars get better gas milage? so what there still burning crap into the air!! its 2008 almost!! like one person said "compresed air!! good idea! and yes i do got old cars.. they never been driven in 5 years and will remain that way.. I DONT DRIVE THEM ITS A HOBBY.. I RESPECT THIS PLANT MORE .. THEN MY HOBBY IF I HAD TO BURN THEM TO SAVE THE PLANT.. I WOULD IN A SECOND

Would you hunt for a government (greenie) sponsored job?
Invest in green tech stocks?
Prey on those that are scared?
Actually try to do something with purpose, and learn in the process?
Or do a combination of one or more?

Because Obama crashed the stock market my parents can’t afford to continue to pay for my college education so I have adopted a more republican entrepreneurial spirit and have embraced my presidents call to find a "green job".

I think stabilizing the Housing Market with the 1st bail-outs money would have been the best thing to do. I also think building Nuclear plants would have been a big ‘job creator’ and an ‘GREEN energy’ solution. I also feel that his plan to cut tax on Businesses would have helped in this struggling economy, so why did we not elect that guy again?

Because the U.S. House of Representatives just passed a bill that would basically mandate the use of "green" energy.

BUT, I seem to remember this being EXACTLY what California tried a few years ago………….not working out so well. Spain also tried this………..not working out so well. In fact a recent study concluded that Spain LOST 2.2 regular jobs for every temporary "green" job that was created.

So I’m just curious, other than Barack Obama SAYING this isn’t going to hurt the economy, what EVIDENCE is there that this will work (when every other time it has failed and caused higher energy prices)?

The bill is called The American Clean Energy and Security Act. (aka HR 2454)

Would this help steer things in the right direction without harming the economy or costing any jobs? They could use some of it on job retraining to switch from oil jobs to green energy jobs and some on research, some on devolopment, some on advertising and the rest on producing green energy for new demand and to replace dirty energy production which would HAVE to be phased out in order to prevent the damage to the climate from the green house gases they would emit if they weren't replaced.
