LTTE promotes "Green Jobs"

The image “http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:HXaVi0oKcICzdM:http://www.uncg.edu/our/greensboro-ncatnight.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. A letter-writer in today's N&R promotes green jobs AND gets it write about our local leadership:

The “Triad’s silver linings” of new jobs the editors tout (editorial, April 3) are tinged with tarnish.
While it is true that practically any job is a good job in a deep recession, a disconcerting lack of forward-thinking local leadership is reflected in the fact that none of the industries mentioned as bringing employment to the Triad are in the fields that will drive the reshaping of our economy for the 21st century.

Having a green economy is only part of the discussion. The next part is actually initiating the discussion in the first place. Maybe when our unemployment rate reaches 15%?

E.C. :)
