Albuquerque, NM – Tristes han sido las noticias recientes de la economía y desempleo, pero un nuevo reporte demuestra que mientras la nación se transforma hacia el uso de energía renovable, las noticias de la economía y empleo serán más alegres.

El reporte, publicado por la Blue-Green Alliance (Alianza Azul-Verde), encontró que si Estados Unidos se comprometiera a que para el año 2020 el 20-por-ciento de la energía a nivel nacional fuese de recursos renovables, resultaría en 800,000 empleos de "camiseta verde." Michael Casaus del Sierra Club en Albuquerque comenta que varios de estos empleos pueden ocurrir en Nuevo Mexico.

"No solo estamos hablando de instaladores de paneles solares, si no también de empleos actuales como soldadores, trabajadores de metal, ingenieros, entre otros."

Nuevo Mexico se encuentra en segundo lugar en la nación con potencial para electricidad solar y el doceavo lugar para energía eólica. Es por eso que dice Casaus que lo que se necesita es entrenar a la gente para asi comenzar a reducir la pobreza y contaminación a través de lo que conocemos como la Nueva Economía de Energía.

"Es que existen tremendas oportunidades para comenzar a implementar empleos de camiseta verde, pero lo primero que se necesita es entrenar a individuos."

La Alianza Azul-Verde es una coalición nacional cuyo reporte esta disponible en línea al www.bluegreenalliance.org.
