Having "green" jobs is necessary for our long-term survival ( at least at a standard of living in line with what we've got used to ). Economic stability is only part of that broader interest. For example, if we manage to cut down all of our trees ( like Easter Island ), this will hurt a lot of jobs, but won't happen over night. As for economic concerns, though, in the long run it will be cheaper not to buy gasoline than it is to buy the stuff. I tend to agree with Jen.

But for the environment, not so much for economy. New jobs though would be a wonderful change for all of the struggling families out there. Creating green jobs does take time and I'd rather see more green jobs than others. Although, I think if people would change now to some of the already green businesses, we'd be well on our way. =) I love the idea of green jobs. But for the environment, not so much for economy.
