New Jobs Created at Energy Summit

Despite all appearances to the contrary, the National Clean Energy Summit continues its work.
This year’s Energy Summit conference will try to find better ways how solar and wind energy sectors will create thousands of new jobs as soon as the economic crisis ends, or begins to show more strength.
The Summit members will give guidelines on how to create in state employment and improve the unemployment rates in each state. Shifting to renewable energy resources and constructing solar and wind power plants in small cities and towns will not only provide citizens with permanent jobs but will also make a significant contribution into the local budgets quite quickly.
Not only are jobs created, but there are improvements on the expense side of the ledger.
Money brought by green energy companies can be spent on building and renewing educational establishments and hospitals as well as the cities themselves, and money saved on energy bills can go back in as well.
Making use of the country’s wind energy potential will help to create about 3 millions of jobs if estimates are correct , the same number will be provided by new solar energy plants. Over 100,000 MW of energy will be created on the area of up to 700,000 acres of land.
What the authorities were trying to do during the past couple of years is to draw public attention to the fact how much oil is imported by the USA every year and that the majority of this oil covers the gasoline needs of more than 250 million of American cars.
By switching to these new sources the word ‘self sufficient’ can be used. According to the recent studies conducted by the US Gas Progress Committee the US reserves of natural gas are bigger than oil reserves in Saudi Arabia.
Such potential may help the United States to influence the world oil prices, but until these natural reserves are being utilized OPEC is the major agent to establish the price levels. Soon the country’s energy mix will be improved as House and Senate are working on the bills to allow using these gas reserves, and the renewables can provide immediate help.
Such an activity will definitely make American car manufacturers consider projecting and bringing into mass production natural gas vehicles, this way significantly increasing the number of such vehicles in the US.
This change in will positively influence the environment as natural gas is much cleaner than diesel and does not need to be refined. However the Obama administration relies heavily on the development of alternative energy resources.
The US have large green potential with their solar and wind energy opportunities, as well as natural gas reserves that in future will help the country to become less dependent on oil exporters and more self-sufficient in terms of energy. A great trade off for everyone.
