Green Jobs Slow to Blossom

Green Jobs Slow to Blossom

Posted by Karen 4 February, 2010 As Digital Politics Podcast, Technology to Watch

Guest on the Digital Politics podcast this week was Joseph Kalkstein, president, Global Solar Ventures. Joe is a clean energy advocate with an eye on the business and financial reasons to switch to alternative energy sources. While we hear a lot about blue-collar jobs being created in this new economy, my sense is that there are many new white-collar jobs related to developing and managing smart energy plans. Joe is a young entrepreneur with a comprehensive view of what elements are necessary to consider when calculating the benefits of moving to clean energy.

We also talk about the disruptive impact on utilities with the development of cost-effective energy solutions under the control of individuals and businesses. Like the web, another example of power for the people.

Listen to this discussion with an entrepreneur riding the Green wave.
