Arizona's Republican Governor Knows that Solar is Green and this is the Color of Money

Arizona governor Jan Brewer is of two minds on the green economy. During her reign as governor she has both repealed and expanded the clean energy policies of her Democratic predecessor, Janet Napolitano. She campaigned on a platform that promised to pull Arizona out of any effort to cap its pollution. Once elected she made good on her promise by signing an executive order that withdrew her state from cap-and-trade as well as California's clean car program. However, she could not ignore the value of solar power to provide jobs and grow the state's economy.

Best Places for Green Jobs in the US

The number of green jobs is proliferating around the world, but some places are better than others. In countries like the US, China, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore the recycling industry is experiencing significant growth to address their waste management issues. In the US, California, Florida, Michigan and Ohio are hotbeds of activity in energy efficiency.

Here is a list of some of the best US locations for green jobs from research compiled by the Examiner.

Top 10 "Shovel Ready" Green Jobs

Green jobs are growing rapidly around the world. Sectors involved with employment that is better for the environment are amongst the very few that are showing positive signs of growth in 2012 and beyond. According to Examiner.com, here are the sectors that are most likely to create jobs.

Electric Vehicles Create Jobs

Electric vehicles (EVs) are reducing emissions and creating sustainable jobs. EV technology is steadily improving and consumer interest is growing. While EVs create jobs, combustion engine vehicles contribute to global warming and America's dependence on foreign oil.

The Chevrolet Volt is an example of a hybrid electric car that is providing new jobs. In the past year, GM has invested nearly $1 billion in electric vehicles. The car maker is also investing $270 million on an electric motor plant near Baltimore, Md. The project will create more than 200 blue-collar and managerial positions, along with hundreds more assembly line jobs when the plant starts production.

Mike Robinson, GM's vice president for environment, energy and safety policy, expects the new plant will be a job engine for many years to come.

"This is the wave of the future. And we expect that plant is going to produce 40,000 or so electric motors for us by 2013," Robinson says. "And we do think this is a long-term bet that makes sense, and we expect market volumes will support that kind production."

Other car makers are also involved in the EV market including Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Honda. Industry analysts predict there could be as many as 1.5 million electric cars on US roads by 2015.

While the price of electricity is relatively stable, gas prices are volatile. Auto industry analyst George Magliano, of IHS Global Insight thinks that green technology will boost economic growth and create tens of thousands of new jobs.

EVs create American jobs which is why President Obama has pledged that America will have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.

The Fate of the Democrats is Tied to Green Jobs

Obama laid out his clean energy plan in his State of the Union address. The President indicated that he would like to see 80 percent of US power coming from “clean” sources by 2035, including renewables.

Federal incentives help renewable energy to grow and creates jobs. In the US, government incentives would enable the country to compete against Europe and China, where governments have provided lavish incentives and strong financial support.

The federal government along with many state governments see green technology as an engine of economic growth and job creation. There are millions of jobs and trillions in revenue emerging from the green economy. Fast-growing clean technology is the only sector that can offer such a significant number of new jobs.

As President Obama said, "there is perhaps no industry with more potential to create jobs now and growth in the coming years, than clean energy."

State regulations have helped the renewable energy industry in California and other states helped the industry establish itself.

As China and other nations are investing massively in renewable energy, it would be disastrous for America to ignore this colossal opportunity.

The Democrats need to see an improvement in the jobless rate for political reasons. Like the Democrats, Obama's political future is tied to green jobs, as no President has ever been reelected with an unemployment rate above 8 percent.

State Green Jobs Initiatives Need Federal Legislation

Green jobs are an important part of the President's strategy to get people working all across America. Regional initiatives demonstrate the effectiveness of capitalizing on the growth of green jobs. These initiatives have created jobs in states like New York, California and Missouri.

A program called Green Jobs/Green NY has the goal of retrofitting 1 million homes to make them more energy efficient. This program offers incentives to homeowners and provides free home-performance energy audits through approved contractors, a value of around $400, and up to $13,000 in low-interest loans (3.49 percent) to finance improvements. These improvements offer projected savings of roughly $1.20 for each dollar spent.

The cleantech industry is also providing green jobs throughout California, even in places like the San Joaquin Valley which has not benefited from previous booms. According to a new study [PDF] from by UC Merced Professor Dr. Shawn Kantor, renewable energy projects could bring more than 100,000 jobs to the area in the next few years. In California employment in clean energy grew 36% from 1995 to 2008, while San Joaquin Valley employment increased by 48% over the same period.

The San Joaquin Valley is expected to produce 10% of California’s renewable energy within the next ten years. According to Tom Cotter, Central California sales manager for Real Goods Solar and member of the California Business Alliance for a Green Economy, “These jobs are coming to California because of clean energy policies that make us a leader in the nation,”

Missouri is trying to combat high unemployment rates with green jobs. Over the last few years, as the overall unemployment climbed, green jobs kept growing across Missouri.

However, states need federal action to capitalize on the growth of the green economy. A new report from the Apollo Alliance shows that green jobs could proliferate if the US implemented strong clean energy and climate change policies. The “How to Keep Creating Clean Energy Jobs in Missouri” report finds that the right energy policies could create up to 88,000 jobs in Missouri alone by 2030.

The report indicates that the federal government needs to enact the right policies. This begins with a bill called the Investments for Manufacturing Progress and Clean Technology (IMPACT) Act, which would support domestic manufacturing of cleantech and provide good paying jobs.

An energy standard of 25 percent renewable energy by 2025 could create up to 23,000 manufacturing jobs in Missouri by 2025. The report finds that improved vehicle efficiency standards paired with investments in domestic advanced vehicle manufacturing could create up to 6,000 new jobs in Missouri by 2020.

A cap on carbon emissions combined with strong energy-efficiency standards would create more than 7,000 more jobs by 2030, including building retrofitting.

The Appollo Alliance report indicates that success stories like ABB, Lost Creek Wind and Exergonix could become even more commonplace if the US implemented strong clean energy and climate change policies.

Despite meaningful efforts on the state level, there are no substitutes for comprehensive climate and energy legislation. America's high unemployment rate could be significantly reduced if Republicans in Congress would support the President's policies.

How to Land a Green Job

Green jobs encompass a wide range of occupations. Green jobs can play a pivotal role in reducing unemployment and reviving a sluggish economy. The green market has enormous potential, more than any other industry. We have already seen massive growth in the solar and wind industries and this is sure to continue.

Far too many American politicians confuse the debate by denying climate change rather than advance green jobs. However, the burgeoning awareness will make it increasingly difficult for these politicians to continue their resistance to the inevitable transition to clean energy. Clean energy is a matter of national security, it is also a matter of international competitiveness.

Green collar jobs are already playing a vital role spurring economic growth and providing green jobs. In Europe, countries like Spain are investing heavily in renewable energy with the expectation that this will reduce unemployment and help grow their national economy.

Increasing numbers of green job seekers are looking to enter the green market. Green job seekers should learn about the companies and technologies that are part of the green revolution. An appropriate Education and ongoing learning is key. Green job seekers need to continually update their skills to keep up with the latest trends, they also need to attend conferences, and network with others in their chosen green field.

An outstanding resume that is focused on cleantech or other sustainable skills can go a long way to help people secure a green job. Leverage your experiences and position yourself for a green career. It is important to note that each industry has its own specific needs, and rather than a generic resume your resume should highlight your cleantech experience and other relevant experience. A cover letter tailored to the company to which you are applying is also an important part of a successful job application.

Volunteering can also give you valuable experience. For helpful green volunteer information visit "Sustainability Pro Bono Exhange," (SPBEX). SPBEX is a kind of match-making service between green/sustainability professionals and organizations in search of such professionals on a volunteer basis.

An online community for the unemployed known as lemonadeit, provides information for the unemployed. This site has a wealth of tools for the unemployed seeking to become employed.

Clean Tech Job Trends 2010 Report: Manufacturing Issues and Recommendations

The Clean Tech Job Trends 2010 report offers a comprehensive summary of clean-tech job activity including US manufacturing issues arising from stiff international competition. The report also makes recommendations for the US including the application of feed in tariffs, increased exploitation of energy efficiency opportunities, and government policy.

Clean-Tech Manufacturing Issues

Clean-tech manufacturing is creating jobs and, led by China, Asia is booming. China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore are all hiring thousands of factory workers for the solar, wind and battery industries. European clean-tech leaders like Germany and Denmark continue to expand their clean-energy manufacturing capacity.

China and other nations are providing heavy subsidies for their clean-tech manufacturing sectors. In the US, President Obama is attempting to boost clean tech manufacturing with some $50 billion of the $800 billion federal stimulus package, devoted to the development of clean-tech factory jobs.

Thanks in part to the stimulus money, clean-tech manufacturing jobs are being created around the US including nine advanced electric-vehicle battery plants that have opened in hard hit states like Michigan. Thanks to stimulus money previously shuttered, old plants are being reborn and making clean-tech products. Other companies that are helping to grow clean-tech in the US include Colorado based Abound Solar, Spanish wind-turbine generator company Ingeteam and Spain-based Talgo.

Obama is spending billions to keep the US involved in the future of manufacturing for the transportation industry. He understands that there are significant opportunities in profits and jobs for those on the forefront of advanced transportation technology development and product manufacturing. By 2012, the White House hopes to have 39 high performance auto battery factories in the US accounting for 20 percent of the world’s output. The government has also become a major financier of up-and-coming electric car companies. In January, the DOE closed a $465 million loan to electric-car maker Tesla Motors. Three months later, the DOE closed a $528.7 million loan with Fisker Automotive. These loans are intended to create several thousand US manufacturing jobs and save or create thousands more jobs for domestic parts suppliers.

However, it is very hard for the US to compete with overseas labor costs, particularly in the developing world. The report cites the Apollo Alliance estimates that some 70 percent of the content of US clean-energy installations is manufactured overseas. Trade statistics tell the tale. According to a January © 2010 Clean Edge report, the US trade deficit in renewable-energy products soared 1,400 percent to almost $5.7 billion between 2004 and 2009.

The Collaborative Future of Manufacturing

The report also looks forward by saying that, "the global landscape for clean-tech manufacturing jobs won’t always be a clear-cut ‘us vs. them’ search for the cheapest labor costs. Unusual cross-border partnerships, which may be the wave of the future, are starting to form."

They cite the example of the August deal between companies in the Chinese wind turbine industry and the United Steelworkers that will employ up to 1,000 US workers in Nevada. That deal followed a late 2009 agreement between the United Steelworkers and Spain-based Mondragon Internacional to help establish manufacturing cooperatives in the U.S. and Canada.

Mexico Well Positioned With a combination of cheap labor and geographic proximity, Mexico "could solidify its permanent foothold in the industry’s labor landscape." Companies like Japan-based Sanyo, BP Solar, Jabil Circuit, and Energy Conversion Devices are all increasing their solar manufacturing presence in Mexico. The wind industry is also increasing its presence in Mexico. German equipment manufacturer Liebherr recently constructed a production facility in Monterrey where it will employ 180 and make driveline components for the North American wind-energy market.

Feed-In Tariffs Spur Job Growth

The report also reviews the importance of government policy to address the fact that newer clean technologies are not yet cost-competitive with the mature and long-subsidized fossil-fuel technologies. The report cites a policy known for creating world-leading markets, it is the performance incentive known as a feed-in tariff, or FIT.

FITs are policy mechanisms that offer stable payment to generators of renewable electricity through long-term purchase agreements. FITs are responsible for approximately 75 percent of global PV and 45 of global wind power development.

The best illustration of the success of FIT is in Germany. Thanks to FITs, Germany is now a world leader in PV production and deployment. Other FIT successes are documented in the UK and Ontario, Canada. According to the report, the FIT policy mechanism has proven powerful and will continue to play an integral role in clean-tech job creation and product deployment.
Energy Efficiency in the US

In the US, with annual electricity consumption rates roughly twice those of the European Union and five times the world average, energy efficiency measures are low laying fruit. Energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way to create jobs on a dollar investment basis.

Five National Policies and Initiatives for Clean-Tech

To help clean tech job creation, the authors of the report suggest five national policies and initiatives:

1. Deploy aggressive national renewable portfolio standards with “teeth.”
2. Support green infrastructure development.3. Implement – and be sure to enforce – efficiency, fuel, and emissions rules and standards.4. Establish green banks, bonds, and funds.5. Implement carbon taxes.

Clean-tech represents a significant opportunity for business creation and long-term competitiveness. Corporate giants around the world continue to embolden their clean-tech activities via investments, new divisions, and M&A activity. While the report clearly states that clean-tech continues to make valuable contributions to the global economy, it is equally clear that some nations are better positioned than others to benefit. Even countries hit hardest by the recession are using the growth of clean-tech to launch themselves back into the black.

Despite the political rhetoric about outsourcing jobs offshore, cost-cutting is king in the world of clean-tech manufacturing. For developed countries, this often means moving jobs to emerging markets with lower labor costs like China and Mexico. However, as the report suggests, there are important steps that can be taken to stake a US claim to clean-tech leadership.

Clean-tech is becoming an increasingly cost-competitive, mainstream offering. Despite the many challenges facing the sector, clean tech offers some of the largest growth opportunities on the global economic horizon. Although President Obama is a clean-tech advocate, the rest of the nation will need to increase its support for clean-tech if it is to cash in on the windfall of profits and jobs.

Clean Tech Job Trends 2010 Report: Growth and Global Competition

In its second annual look at the state of clean-tech jobs in the US and globally, Clean Edge Inc., the world’s first research and advisory firm devoted to the clean-tech sector, released its Clean Tech Job Trends 2010. The report provides key insights and analysis of the most important clean-tech employment trends.

Clean Tech Job Trends 2010 offers a comprehensive summary of clean-tech job activity including a survey of compensation levels, market size, competition, and leaders.

Clean Tech Providing Well Paying Jobs

Globally, the report indicates that despite the recent recession and high unemployment, clean energy continues to fuel innovation and growth while delivering economic opportunities and well paying new jobs. The report indicates the following median incomes:

Entry-level insulation worker $33,600
Solar-energy systems installer $37,700
Smart-grid embedded systems engineers $76,500
Senior mechanical engineer for electric vehicles $91,500

The data confirms that clean-tech occupations deliver reasonable wages for new workers in the field, (many of which do not even require college degrees) while also offering financially rewarding opportunities for senior-level operatives.

Clean Tech Job Market

Investments in clean tech offer extraordinary returns. The report cites a 2008 study titled Green Recovery that estimated that $100 billion spent on clean energy over a 10-year period could create two million new jobs, compared to just 500,000 jobs if the money were invested in oil and gas-related industries. The Center for American Progress states that “renewable energy and efficiency improvements create twice as many jobs per unit of energy and per dollar invested than traditional fossil fuel-based generating technologies.”

The offshore wind industry is expecting 2010 to be a record-breaking year adding to last year’s 72% growth of annual installed capacity, or more than 2 GW cumulative global capacity. A 2010 Scottish Renewables report estimated that offshore wind could create 28,000 jobs by 2020 in Scotland alone. According to Clean Edge research, the solar PV industry now represents approximately 300,000 direct and indirect jobs globally, while the wind-power sector includes more than 500,000 direct and indirect jobs worldwide.

The Renewables 2010 Global Status Report (2010 GSR), the highly-regarded annual publication from global research group REN21, shows that total jobs in renewable energy industries exceeded three million globally in 2009.

Global Clean Tech Competition

Industrial leaders in the US, China, South Korea, Germany, Japan, and other nations are vying for clean-tech leadership and the jobs that come with it. According to the Renewables 2010 GSR, Brazil and China account for the largest share of renewables employment globally, representing more than 700,000 and 250,000 respectively in the bioethanol and solar hot water industries alone.

Brazil and China are not the only countries investing in clean-tech. Some of the countries hit hardest by the recession see clean-tech as a way to a more prosperous economy. Portugal is on track to get 45 percent of its grid electricity from renewables this year. Clean-energy research firm IHS Emerging Energy Research projects that other countries including Ireland, Denmark, and Britain are on pace to get 40 percent or more of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025. In installed wind power, Europe is the clear leader, it installed 333 MW through the first half of 2010 alone.

From the UK to Denmark, China to New Jersey, regions are positioning themselves to benefit from the continued expansion of offshore wind installations and increased turbine manufacturing demand. The US is also vying for a slice of this Europe-dominated sector. The US Cape Wind installation off the coast of Massachusetts will be the country’s first large scale wind installation project. New Jersey recently passed the kind of legislation that could help it to take the lead in US offshore wind energy.

China is Undisputed World Leader in Clean-Tech

With China based companies poised to dominate as clean-tech employers both domestically and abroad, China is the world’s undisputed leader of clean-tech initiatives. China, which passed Japan as the world’s second-largest economy, now outspends both the US and Europe on clean energy. Clean-energy investments in China reached $34.6 billion last year, more than any other country and almost double the US investment of $18.6 billion, according to a Pew Environment Group report, Who’s Winning the Clean Energy Race.

“China has risen from clean-energy neophyte to global clean-energy powerhouse over the past five years,” says Ron Pernick, cofounder and managing director of Clean Edge. “China is now home to six of the top 10 global clean-tech pure-play employers, up from just three a year earlier. China has become the country to watch, analyze, and, at times, emulate. Ignoring China’s clean-tech ambitions and activities puts one’s own clean-tech initiatives at great peril.”
