We’ll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads, and
bridges, and schools, and by laying broadband lines to reach every corner of the
country. And I will invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to
create five million new energy jobs over the next decade – jobs that pay well
and can’t beout sourced; jobs building solar panels and wind turbines and a new
electricity grid; jobs building the fuel-efficient cars of tomorrow, not in
Japan or South Korea but here in the United States of America; jobs that will
help us eliminate theoil we import from the Middle East in ten years and help
save the planet in the bargain.
That’s how America can lead again.
This echoes what he said in Denver, Colorado on Sunday:
If I am President, I will invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of
energy to create five million new, green jobs over the next decade – jobs that
pay well and can’t be outsourced; jobs building solar panels and wind turbines
and fuel-efficient cars; jobs that will help us end our dependence on oil from
Middle East dictators.
I'd like him to talk about public transit a bit more than roads, but he's on the right track for sure. More detail on his energy policy here.
