Economic down-turn but a rising green spot?


We all know that the world economy suffers from a bad cold. A little sneeze here and some companies just disappear, a little cough there and huge amounts of money are gone. Economists seem to be helpless but pretend to have the perfect advice. Though, the right medicine hasen’t showed up yet.

But actually I don’t want to focus on the sick economy but on one industry that seems to be
healthier than most of our people - yes there are still some businesses out there. I am talking about the energy industry, the alternative energy sector! Considering the fact that the world demand for energy is growing, fossil fuels are…mhh…fossil and there is something called global warming it is a logical consequence. Obama’s generous investment plan for that sector would create more than 4 million jobs which, I would guess, is not bad for the economy.

Hearing about states like Michigan that pushes for green jobs to balance out the losses of the sick automobile industry or Tennessee that wants to make up the job losses in manufacturing industries I actually get a good, green feeling. Jobs in alternative energy sectors are high-paying jobs. Besides that, we actually can help to heal our ailing environment.
So having a green promising future will help a lot to make our economy healthy as well.
