Outlook Good for "Green-Collar" Job Training

In my update on energy legislation in the House [1], I neglected to mention that included in the energy package is funding for training in high-skill, clean energy jobs.

That's a similar initiative to what already cleared the Senate [2], making it very likely to be part of the final legislation.

For more background, check out this post from Apollo Alliance board member Van Jones at Gristmill, [3] who describes the effort as a "smart, far-sighted effort to fight pollution and poverty at the same time."
