The second bottom line at work: Green Jobs in California

This story in the Sacramento Bee highlights the importance of developing the green economy in California. A huge wind farm in Solano County was just unveiled last Thursday. Shiloh II will has the capacity to deliver 150 megawatts of electricity through its 75 massive GE wind turbines, each of which is 30 stories tall and can generate 2 megawatts of power per day. The Bee story was a bit about renewable power and a lot about the power of the green economy to renew lives.

An interesting side story to the launch of the wind farm was that renewable power was also used to power the event. Take a look at this news footage (and here) and note first that the stories feature those who were laid off in the finance and real estate industries, and were able to find work in renewable energy.

In the first, note where each of the interviews takes place: in front of Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM) that were provided by Pure Power Distribution of Santa Monica, another example of the green economy putting people to work.
