Title: Renewable Energy Can Bring Jobs To Ohio

Renewable Energy Can Bring Jobs To Ohio

Renewable energy can provide, on average, four to six times the number of jobs as equivalent investments in fossil fuels manufacturing, installations, operations, and maintenance are all accounted for, according the the Blue-green Alliance Report.

The Current U.S. demand for renewable energy technologies exceeds domestic manufacturing capability, and we are dependant on European and Chinese manufacturers to meet these demands.

So forget about tax breaks and slashing income taxes to bring companies to Ohio. The most direct way to put Ohioans back to work is a 100 percent commitment to renewable energy.

We can have a Governor who still cheers for dirty coal and nuke power like Ted Strickland to champion this cause.

We need a truely Green Governor to lead the charge for renewable energy in this state as well as jobs.

FYI

This past Tuesday, a seminar about energy storage systems was held at YSU.  Northeast Ohio is poised to be a leader in this technology which will be integrated into utility grids as more alternative energy systems come on line.  The manufacturing of these energy storage devices will be worth billions.
