obama jobs

Green jobs are still a large part of government plan to jump start job creation Obama.

I need a job speech this morning, President Obama laid out the three main ways of Washington can people back to work: helping small businesses obtain more credit to employ more people, beefing up investments in infrastructure such as railways, roads and bridges and ramping up government support for energy efficiency and clean energy.

Specifically, the President asked Congress "to offer a discount to consumers who make energy efficiency retrofits," which in theory would create a double whammy jobs and saving consumers money by sealing the leaky homes. Mr Obama said: "We know jobs."

He also called on the increase on the existing cash incentive for more renewable energy investment: "The Government supports expansion of programs and additional federal dollars to private investment to create jobs quickly, as industrial investments in energy efficiency and tax incentives for investments in renewable production facilities in the U.S. "

Update: David Roberts of Grist said the speech to indicate that encourage energy efficiency of buildings is encouraged to demand better, create jobs, and reduce emissions. "

The idea that promote the clean energy job creation is the core of Mr. Obama's energy plans from the campaign. It is also in the heart of the battle in Washington over the best way to clean up the economy and the unemployment Rolls Trim.

A telling comment from the White House released the speech certainly provides some fodder for critics: "The president views all invoices through the Prism of the employment growth."

The focus of any policy that do double duty, at least, that was just what some economists are introduced earlier this year. In some circles it is called cooking the dinner "in the shower" approach.

That is, some policies well as job creation, that some other well for the clean energy sector. They are not necessarily the same ones, and try to do everything together to make everything more efficient.

The usual arguments against the job "green." This is because it is labor intensive clean energy creates more jobs per unit of output than many other sectors, but energy that makes the most efficient use of human capital. Otherwise, the tractors and I increase agricultural employment. Other commentators argue that clean energy will not be the same productivity gains to give to the broader economy that the IT revolution.

What will be interesting to see how the debate plays total light energy and employment in the last control on the Environmental Protection Agency that greenhouse gases endangered public health and welfare. That would open the door to more energy-regulation, but a large business, including the energy industry, says that new regulations can an economic albatross, a raft of economic life.
