Look who has a green job

A new video series from the Natural Resources Defense Council features interviews with people currently working in the clean energy industry.

Fri, Jun 12 2009 at 8:32 PM EST

 

The “Look Who Has a Green Job” video series from the Natural Resources Defense Council features interviews with people that are currently working in a green job.  The series helps the public understand green jobs a bit better by providing real world examples of what clean energy jobs are.
  • David – Operations Manager for Standard Renewable Energy
  • Gerald – Low Voltage Winding Specialist
  • Eric – Wind Farmer
  • Erica – Group Leader for Cobasys
These are just a few examples of the videos available on the NRDCflix YouTube channel.  
Employment in the clean energy economy is likely to continue to rise.  Earlier this week, the Pew Charitable Trusts released a report showing that the clean energy industry experienced a 9.1% job growth between 1998 and 2007.  The workers featured in the NRDC video series are just a small sampling of the nearly 770,000 workers employed in the clean energy industry.
