Read his testimony here http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qaCNpE%2Bc2yuayMHI6ygD09CRmH5gj8e7 .
At the hearing, Jones will dispel several myths about green jobs, and urge Congress to "move aggressively from inspiration to implementation" - starting with fully funding the Green Jobs Act.
The hearing is held by the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, chaired by climate champion Rep. Ed Markey, and will focus on creating jobs and stimulating the economy through renewable energy and energy efficiency.
