government with the renewing of a key tax credit, which is hoped to increase wind project installations by about 50 per- cent. That’s just one part of the equation, though. “A national Renewable Electricity
Standard (RES) policy was before Con- gress last year, but it didn’t pass,” Rand added. “If Congress succeeds in passing it this year, it would solidify the wind energy market enough that it could create several hundred thousand jobs as a re- sult. Meanwhile in Florida, the renewable energy industry is hoping the legislature will pass a $1 consumer fee that would generate 95,000 new alternative energy jobs in that state. The bottom line is that the new energy jobs aren’t a myth -- they are out there, and not only can they put America back to work, but they can also secure our energy independence for gene- rations to come. It’s just smart business for America.”
