Green Jobs Guru What is a green job?

There are so many definitions of what a green job is, that it's now getting to the point where it's difficult to know what a green job is. And the difficulty is increased by the lack of clear and agreed upon definitions of a green company and the categories of green products or services (is nuclear clean? is "clean coal" really clean?).

So to add to the confusion, I'll add my 2 cents to the discussion. A green job is:
  • A job at an association or non-profit engaged in enviro

Many are wondering why President Obama has not used the environmental catastrophe in the gulf to beat up on the oil companies or to advance game-changing energy and environmental policies. The answer is simple. He is not a Green revolutionary. He told us during the campaign, and he continues to tell us today, that oil and coal are at the foundation of his energy policies.



The President still believes that deepwater drilling for oil is essential t… Continue

Green Jobs Guru Where are the green jobs?

The Obama administration has promised the creation of millions of green jobs in the next few years. Well, it hasn’t started yet… these jobs are nowhere to be seen. And I know what I’m talking about: I’ve been looking for them for over a year.

I have to tell you I’m not a job seeker. I’m self employed and the creator of The Green Job Bank. That’s why I’m looking for green jobs. There are basically two types of places you find them online: a gr… Continue

Jim C. Hydro Power, the best opportunity we have available to start weaning ourselves off of hydrocarbons.

I just read a study on renewableenergyworld.com about the amount of untapped hydro-electric power that is already available in the United States and it is stagering. We have over 80,000 lakes with man made dams in this country. The study pointed out that we could easily produce 5,140 MW of energy and 159,000 jobs in the North East quadrent of the United States, alone, by retrofitting these dams with already proven turbine technology. I have no idea how many coal fired plants that could shutter,… Continue
