@peacemakesplenty,
Go to www.ieee.tv
Look at the section that says "IEEE.tv Public Access"
Find the video titled "Energy Innovations: The Hydrogen House"

This probably isn't the best comparison as far as the job potential of the renewable energy industry goes. You'd want to look at solar panel manufacturing, battery or other energy storage system manufacturing, solar system design and installation, and large-scale construction projects like solar thermal towers, offshore wind turbines, robust and flexible electricity grids, etc. Put all that together and you have a huge infrastructure boom that will continue for decades, as well as an ever-increasing number of associated jobs.

Wow, shifting jobs from old technologies to new ones. I'm only 24, but I've been thinking this should happen for years. Not only do you create jobs, you further technology and help the environment. I mean is it a bad thing that jobs will become more technical and specialized instead of unskilled? I don't think so. Personally, I would love to see the average American job become more technical and skilled, forcing people to become more intelligent. Maybe then we wouldn't have retards voting one of their own into office. I don't really see any drawbacks here. And solar is just going to get more efficient with nano tech. Its a win-win-win-win, or something like that.
