I cannot open the attachment. It states the web page is no longer available...who knows?
But the memo you wrote has wording that causes me to make the following comment
The description /*" the industries of energy efficiency, wind, and biofuels."*/ I'd like to suggest, is too narrow. Obviously there is solar, geothermal, and other technologies that are "green".
But "Green Industries"can be and will be much more broad across the economic spectrum.
My new company for example is developing a new use of advanced materials that will reduce the carbon footprint of all commercial jets of Boeing 737 and larger, and will involve manufacturing, technical and engineering jobs that do not now exist, but which we are creating. We are quite concerned as an ongoing need emerges just where we will find the necessary trained individuals to help us achieve our planned growth.
The automobile industry, the HVAC industry, waste management, just to name a couple of others, needs new thinking and skills to transition to greener technologies.
I am very excited about what I call the Third Industrial Revolution, an entire rethinking of all we do that asks, how are we working towards a truly sustainable society that is having a zero emissions, and zero permanent effect on the planet.
Maybe that's too big a vsion at this time for specific programs and short term goals, and it obviously must come down to specific acheivanble goals. But all I am suggesting is , the future is much more broad than just renewable energy...and requires us to establish a mind set that should be very very exciting and wonderful for all the youth of today
Hope this helps

Ditto me. And I wonder when and by whom is the needed training going to happen, and how far back in the pack will West Virginia be with its tunnel vision of coal coal coal and stubborn refusal to embrace economic diversification?

If I click on "Greener Pathways" or the link they take me to the document. I copied the document and attached it here. If you can open a pdf it should work for you.
