California Creates Thousands of Jobs by Going Green


Recent developments in California's legislation include the decision to invest in making renewable energy sources more readily-available to the general public, with special emphasis placed on installing more rooftop solar panels.

Studies show that, at the present moment, California's economy is largely supported by investments made in the clean energy sector.

Should more funds go into this particular industry, it is expected that at least 12,000 new construction-related jobs will be made available for the people living here.

Seeing how solar plants and wind turbines require not only construction, but also regular maintenance, it is safe to assume that the jobs created by developing the clean energy sector will be long-term ones, and not just temporary opportunities to make some money.

Naturally, these thousands of new jobs are quite likely to lead to a more than beneficial economic turmoil.

Thus, well-paid employment opportunities in a country mean that a significant amount of money, which comes in the form of wages, salaries and revenues, is then reinvested in the national economy.

Preliminary reports speak about a potential economic output of about $7.5 billion (€about 6 billion).

California's Senate Bill 843 aims at helping local people generate their own green energy by the use of solar panels, wind turbines and the like.

Apparently, their decision to do this is based on the fact that, although quite a lot of people are more than willing to switch to renewable energy sources, only very few of them currently possess the means to generate their own on-site power.

Cleantechies.com reports that the Senate Bill 843 is to deploy an extra 2-gigawatts of renewable energy capacity, roughly the equivalent of four standard fossil fuel power plants.

This means that most of the country's energy needs will be dealt with without any strain placed on the environment.

All in all, California's plans to go green are more than welcomed, both from an environmental and from an economic standpoint.
