      Go to the Fortune blog that Jim cited and read the comments.  I  believe 
there are other blogs linked there as well.

Shows an interesting trend, continues to point out the decrease in  mining 
jobs.  Others have picked this story up, and there has been a  negative response 
primarily pointing out that the numbers are not comparing  apples to apples; 
ie, the wind jobs figure apparently includes "indirect"  jobs, while the 
mining jobs figure does not.  I am not yet comfortable  using this as a factoid.

Check out this story -- Fortune Magazine in  Jan.
Opening sentence:
"Here’s a talking point in the green jobs  debate: The wind industry
now
employs more people than coal mining  in the United States."
Jayme Hill in VA picked it  up.
