Big Think shares the views of Van Jones president of profiting from a Green Economy.
Van is correct that the Green Economy can provide opportunities for a people of all walks of life. And that we have to move and move quickly. The need to conserve, use renewables and offset Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) will create many jobs where there have been few. (i.e. Building Nuclear and Wind power stations.) There will be many jobs that come from the need to reduce GHGs throughout the rest of the economy starting with our own actions to conserve energy. And while the US does need to move toward better family balance sheets, the picture painted here is overly bleak.
