David asks…

Why did Obama say the Stimulus would create Green Jobs when 80% of the money when to overseas manufacturers?

It’s creating jobs alright – for overseas manufacturers that is – Obama conveniently left that part out.

Wolfe@ are you calling ABC a liar?
Yes – 80% of “Green Energy” money went overseas – I know it’s not clean in my question.

Sharon asks…

Why did Obama’s energy dept. try to discredit a Spanish report criticizing wind power as a job killer?

The Energy Department worked closely with the wind industry lobby to discredit a Spanish report that criticized wind power as a job killer, internal DOE e-mails reveal.

The e-mails obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request show how, starting last April, lobbyists at the American Wind Energy Association became alarmed that lawmakers were citing a study by Spain’s King Juan Carlos University. The study found that Spain’s massive investments in wind power cost 2.2 jobs for every “green” job created.

But the Spanish study isn’t the only evidence that green jobs come at a stiff price. President Obama in January announced $2.3 billion in grants that he said would create 17,000 cleantech jobs. That’s $135,294 per job. California’s nonpartisan legislative analyst said Monday the state’s climate law will likely cost some jobs.

Mandy asks…

How do I get a job in the renewable energy field, e.g. wind power?

I have an MS in engineering, 20 years experience, mostly in the software business working with clients in a teaching/consulting role. What education/experience is required for wind energy and how do I get it?

Daniel Ambrose answers:

An Electrical engineering or Mechanical engineering degree would be key, since renewable energy is about electrical generation and about structural integrity.

But I doubt that more specialized engineering is required, other than experience.
