Clean Energy Will Create More Jobs than Traditional Sources. By Alister Doyle, Reuters, September 13, 2009. "A strong shift toward renewable energies could create 2.7 million more jobs in power generation worldwide by 2030 than staying with dependence on fossil fuels would, a report suggested on Monday. The study [Working for the Climate, PDF, 72 pp], by...Greenpeace International and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), urged governments to agree a strong new United Nations pact to combat climate change in December in Copenhagen, partly to safeguard employment... Governments were often wrong to fear that a shift to green energy was a threat to jobs, said Sven Teske, lead author of the report at Greenpeace... 'This research proves that renewable energy is key to tackling both the climate and economic crises,' said Christine Lins, Secretary General of EREC, which represents clean energy industries."
