Complain all you want about the other things not done, but this kind
of legislation could only be done by a Democratic majority in
Congress.

(T)he media so far has missed one of the most interesting and
innovative proposals that will be voted on: the Green Jobs Act of
2007.
This ground-breaking legislation will make $120 million a year
available across the country to begin training workers (and would-be
workers) for jobs in the clean energy sector. When the bill becomes
law, 35,000 people a year will benefit from cutting edge, vocational
education in fields that could literally save the Earth.
Lofty as that sounds, the Green Jobs Act is responding smartly to an
important, practical need. To beat global warming and meet the energy
challenges of the future, the United States will need hundreds of
thousands of “green-collar workers.” Such workers will be needed to
install millions of solar panels; weatherize homes and other
buildings; create a sufficient quantity of bio-fuels; build and
maintain wind-farms and much, much more. Without these workers, the
country will not have the working muscle and hands-on smarts to change
our trajectory and fashion a different future.
There is an added bonus found in creating a strong, green-collar
workforce: these energy-saving, air-quality-improving, carbon-cutting
jobs can do more than just save the planet or help avoid oil wars in
the future. For tens of thousands of Americans who are falling behind
in the global job market, these work opportunities can also create
“green pathways out of poverty.” Read on
