Millions of Green Energy jobs will be created in North America. More than $US1 trillion will be invested in wind energy globally by 2020 creating 1.75 million jobs. The question is -- will Canada get its fair share of these?
I am particularly proud of a narrated PowerPoint that I created for Corporate Knights magazine at http://bit.ly/8Vck0H -- it's a Special Exclusive Green Collar Job Report that looks at why green energy jobs are so important, how many millions of these jobs can be created in North America over the next 10 to 20 years, how much of their stimulus packages world governments are committing to green initiatives.
This material provides powerful facts for candidates and potential candidates.

November 30 Update:
The PowerPoint is proving very popular! Post the URL -- http://bit.ly/8Vck0H -- in your Facebook status and Tweet about it -- because the world's governments will be busy creating millions of green collar jobs in response to the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen, while Harper in Canada continues to invest in the Tar Sands. So while other countries create the jobs of the future, Canada will be left with a huge economic and ecological liability.
