Green Job for Hilda Solis

Congresswoman Hilda Solis as the new Labor Secretary sends a clear message that Barack Obama is serious about green jobs, according to Hill Heat. In her words:

Our nation is at a crossroads right now. We can choose to transition to a clean energy economy that secures our energy supply and combats climate change or we can continue down the same old path of uncertainty and insecurity that we’re currently in. Current economic conditions, particularly for under-served, under-represented minority communities underscore the need to transition to clean energy technology.

Hill Heat also notes that Solis also wrote pioneering environmental justice legislation. These appointments are very encouraging.

On another note, my posting this season has been terrible and I am sorry. The holidays are here and I am also putting together an art show for January 10 that will be taking most of my time til then. The posts will keep trickling in but won't be normal for a few weeks. Thanks for your patience.
