San Francisco comes in at first place, having been recognized as the number one producer of clean tech jobs by the Clean Edge Report.

Mayor Newsom expressed his commitment to green jobs by stating “San Francisco’s energy-efficiency programs demonstrate how protecting the environment creates jobs and helps businesses and property owners save money.”Read Full Article

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick this week signed legislation that transfers the state’s Renewable Energy Trust to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, streamlining support for the Commonwealth’s green economy by making a single agency responsible for fostering the development and installation of clean energy technologies.
Created by the Green Jobs Act of 2008, the Clean Energy Center (CEC) is charged with advancing the Massachusetts green economy through support for research and development, entrepreneurship, and workforce training, funded in part by a portion of annual Renewable Energy Trust revenues. The CEC has issued $4 million to date in grants for the development of job training programs in growing clean energy fields.Read Full Article

DRIVEN by Governor Deval Patrick’s energy policies and fueled by private innovation, Massachusetts is rapidly becoming a national leader in the production of green energy from alternative sources such as wind turbines and solar panels.
DRIVEN by Governor Deval Patrick’s energy policies and fueled by private innovation, Massachusetts is rapidly becoming a national leader in the production of green energy from alternative sources such as wind turbines and solar panels.
But generating sustainable green energy is only half the equation - the supply side. The best minds in Massachusetts in architecture, engineering, and construction are now focusing on demand. In particular, that means creating homes, schools, and office buildings that do not need to use power from the grid or that produce the energy they require from renewable sources.Read Full Article

On behalf of The Trustees of Reservations, I would like to thank the Essex County Community Foundation’s First Jobs Fund and North Shore Workforce Investment Board for their generous $10,000 grant that helped support the hiring of two teenage staff members this past summer.
Thanks to this grant, Ipswich resident Ben Michaels and Lynn resident Albert Andino spent their summer working at three of our North Shore properties — Crane Wildlife Refuge in Ipswich, Appleton Farms in Ipswich/Hamilton, and Long Hill in Beverly, where they learned important green stewardship, environmental and conservation skills. Albert Andino described his experience as “the best summer job I’ve ever had” where he “learned new skills and discovered places where I had never been before.”Read Full Article

In a rebuttal to all those naysayers like Samuel Sherradan, who charge that “green energy” jobs are more hype than hope, Massachusetts’ Energy and Environmental Affairs secretary Ian A. Bowles says that the state’s solar energy jobs took a nearly 100-percent jump between 2007 and 2008, with an equal increase predicted for this year.
In a rebuttal to all those naysayers like Samuel Sherradan, who charge that “green energy” jobs are more hype than hope, Massachusetts’ Energy and Environmental Affairs secretary Ian A. Bowles says that the state’s solar energy jobs took a nearly 100-percent jump between 2007 and 2008, with an equal increase predicted for this year.
Bowles released the numbers at the Cleantech Forum XXIII, a two-day event which opened on September 9 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
The numbers, from 1,086 to 2,075 – in a state not known for its remarkable solar irradiance values or focus on solar energy – are surprising; or, as Bowles notes, “indicative of the health and welfare” of the local solar energy industry (a health that fossil-fuel advocates gainsay, presumably to protect their own turf).Read Full Article
