I hate to resort to an over-used cliche, but this is a win-win, if I ever saw one. Scientists have underlined the rapid progress of global warming by documenting much more rapid Artic/Antarctic melting than models predict. If we're to slow it down, reducing emissions is an urgent necessity. Outsourcing has eliminated many well-paying manufacturing jobs, a traditional route to upward mobility in the U.S. Retrofitting homes to save energy and fitting them with new equipment for energy generation will create good jobs here, and training programs like this will help to ensure that people and communities that need them most will get them.
