Broad Coalition of Groups Pushing for 'Clean Energy Corps'. ENS, March 2, 2009. "More than 80 labor, environmental, civic, and policy organizations have endorsed a proposal to secure America's economic recovery and environmental health by applying energy-efficient measures to over 15 million existing buildings -- from adding insulation to replacing inefficient boilers. The Clean Energy Corps would combine job creation, service, and training to combat global warming. 'The beauty of the Clean Energy Corps is that it doesn't just create jobs,' said Green For All founder Van Jones. 'It also creates pathways out of poverty.' The Clean Energy Corps is a proposal of the Clean Energy Corps Working Group, which includes representatives of the Apollo Alliance, Center for American Progress Action Fund, Center for Economic and Policy Research, Center on Wisconsin Strategy, Corps Network, Energy Action Coalition, Green For All, Innovations in Civic Participation, and 1Sky... The Clean Energy Corps website, www.greenforall.org/clean-energy-corps, features the full Clean Energy Corps report, a petition in support of the proposal, Congressional updates, and a complete list of endorsers."
