OK Rocks.............
Go find me a graph there that shows me a net gain in jobs going green AS COMPARED TO the net loss of jobs in conventional energy industries under Crap and Tx legislation you so devoutly enfdorse.
Go ahead Rocks..........I'll wait!!!
PS.......dont google "Spain" and "green jobs". They are ALL gone by 2011!!!
A study released this week concludes that government green-job programs arent the yellow-brick road to happiness in Europe. Green programs in Spain destroyed 2.2 jobs for every job created, write Kenneth P. Green and Ben Eisen in their paper for the Winnipeg-based think-tank, Frontier Centre, while the capital needed for one green job in Italy could create five new jobs in the general economy.
Natural gas locked up in methane hydrates could be the world's next great energy source--if engineers can figure out how to extract it safely.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), 100,000 to 300 million trillion cu. ft. (tcf) of methane exists globally in hydrate form--most of it in the ocean floor. "There's more energy potential locked up in methane hydrate formations across the world than in all other fossil energy resources combined," says Brad Tomer, director of the Department of Energy's Strategic Center for Natural Gas and Oil.
Facts of The Day: Wind provides 35% of All New US Generation since 2005 As Costs Drop
Wind provides 35% of All New US Generation since 2005 As Costs Drop
Ten years ago, did anyone think wind power would provide 35% of all new generation in the USA from 2005 to 2010 or that 40,181 megawatts of wind would be running today, enough for 10 million homes, and equal to 2.3% of all electricity? None of the top forecasts from the Energy Information Agency did, and the EIA had lots of company. From the perspective of 10 years ago, wind's boom is extraordinary.
And the future for wind is one of growth in the USA, because the industry has driven down its costs and makes bigger, more efficient turbines.
In 2011, wind power is cost competitive with new gas and below the cost of a new coal plant. According to the American Wind Energy Association, wind projects can be financed with an average power purchase agreement of 6 cents per kilowatt-hour. Deals are being done a bit above and below that average.
Awea also reported that 5,600 megawatts of wind power is under construction around the country right now or twice the amount at this stage of last year.
