A good read

Ed Marcum of the KNS does an excellent, fair piece on the green jobs push that our state is investing in.

I must admit, when I saw the cover photo I was thinking "Here we go again, another puff piece on solar and how we are all going to be rich making solar panels" but I was pleasantly surprised. It is quite good and well balanced. The research is excellent.

While it doesn't get into the potential profitability of solar (other then to say it has potential) it does get into the what and where the "green jobs" supposedly are, versus what they really are, and how much they actually pay in Tennessee and elsewhere. It talks about the problems and some of the solutions being used in other states and it is all pretty well documented.

I may be a little wonky but I must say again how I am pleasantly surprised by this report. I wanted to cut and paste a section of it but it was all so good I couldn't decide what to put in or take out so I just suggest you all head on over and read the entire thing.
