A Gust Of Green Jobs In Iowa!
As we move towards an economy with less dependence on oil, America will consume more electricity than ever before. The good news is that the generation of this electricity will create thousands of construction jobs and even more full time highly technical positions in a support role.
Here is an article discussing our electrified future! https://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/20...green-jobs/?hp https://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...inc/blades.jpg Remember, oil and natural gas will run out. Wind will not. |
I love it and have been a wind power advocate for many years.
IMO this is the next big job creation sector, that being green energy in general. :) |
Natural gas will run out? I heard that we have enough that we could convert 30% of our cars to run on natural gas and have enough supplies under US soil to last 118 years.
Wind is great where there's always wind. There were windmills near where I lived in southern CA, but sometimes they stood still... |

Also, in my town, there is a solar power plant under construction. Since we get just about enough rain here to get the car dirty, a solar plant is a really useful thing. Are wind and solar the only options we should use? Of course not. There's also geothermal, tides, etc. Everything else we have used so far, including nuclear, requires finite resources. I drive my Geo to help try to make the least impact on those finite resources... |
This is very true, many more wind turbines are being put up so fast in iowa its crazy. On the way from Omaha to Iowa city I saw about 10 trucks with blades on them going down I-80.
