Green job boom...

CNN has an interesting article on the The green job boom. It highlights some of the controversy on the business of alternative energy and what it would do for the economy.

Estimates of just how many jobs our push to go green may generate vary widely, and not all economists believe that there really will be any kind of "green job" boom.

The Apollo Institute, a group that wants the government to embark on a renewable energy project similar to the Apollo space program that put a man on the moon, expects to see three million new green jobs over the next ten years.

But the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California Berkeley thinks the boom will deliver something more along the lines of one million new jobs by 2020.

Personally even a million jobs in the alternative energy industry would be a plus, especially if the end result helps create a more green US.
