On Feb 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, a comprehensive economic stimulus bill containing a wide variety of programs and expenditures. The ARRA was designed to, among other goals, create and preserve jobs, invest in various infrastructure projects, and incentivize the development of renewable energy industries. ARRA also provided support for a variety of programs directed towards reducing emissions in the transportation sector. Of the nearly $3 billion appropriated to transportation initiatives, the majority of funds were allocated to promote the advancement of electric transportation technologies. On Jun 26, 2009, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 became the first comprehensive climate change bill to p...
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Republican Robert Hurt had barely begun his opening statement in the congressional candidates' debate here last week when he accused his Democratic opponent of endorsing "job- killing cap and trade. Hurt, a state senator, repeated the charge five times in the next hour, insisting each time that incumbent Rep. Tom Perriello's vote last year for a House energy and climate change bill would cost the state 50,000 jobs if it becomes law.

WASHINGTON, May 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) today made the following statement: In just one year after the Congress passed and President Bush signed the Jobs & Growth Act into law, America's businesses and manufacturers have created more than one million jobs and our nation's economic activity is up. For instance, both consumer spending and personal income are up, exactly what's supposed to happen when you reduce taxes and let hard-working Americans keep more of what they earn.
COLUMBUS -- Flanked by alternative energy business owners, Gov. Ted Strickland on Wednesday accused Republican John Kasich of wanting to turn back the clock on policies designed to bring green energy jobs to Ohio. In 2008, Ohio adopted a new law that requires that by 2025 a quarter of the electricity used in Ohio come from advanced energy sources such as clean coal, nuclear, biomass, wind or solar. At least 12.5 percent of the advanced energy must be generated in Ohio. It also calls for a 22 percent reduction in overall energy use by 2025.
PLATTEVILLE, Wis. - The University of Wisconsin-Platteville could be a major player if an ambitious piece of legislation unveiled by Gov. Jim Doyle earlier this month becomes law this year. The Clean Energy Jobs Act - State Senate Bill 450 and State Assembly Bill 649 - implements the recommendations of Doyle's Global Warming Task Force to address climate change and grow the state's green economy. Proponents say the comprehensive package will strengthen the state's economy, create jobs and help Wisconsin gain energy independence.
CEOs and senior-level people across a broad spectrum are entering the environmental field in droves," says Rona Fried, founder and president of SustainableBusiness.com, which includes a "Green Dream Jobs" online directory. "They're saying 'I'm the CEO of an IT company and I want to put my skills to work for the environment. How do I make that transition?' Those in-country manufacturing jobs are not to be taken lightly. They represent a huge possibility for a new "green-collar" economy to restore a rapidly disintegrating American middle class. The 10 Midwestern states, ideally suited for wind energy development, could see nearly 37,000 new jobs by 2020, according to the Environmental Law and Policy Center, if the nation's renewable energy portfolio were set to 22 percent. According to...
