•;Renewable;energy;and;energy-efficient;technologies;could;dis-place approximately 1.2 billion tons of carbon emissions annually by
2030, the amount scientists believe is necessary to prevent the most
dangerous consequences of climate change.
•;Approximately;57;percent;of;carbon-emissions;reductions;would;be
from energy efficiency and 43 percent would be from renewable energy.
•;Energy-efficiency;measures;can;allow;U.S.;carbon;emissions;to
remain about level through 2030, while renewable energy technologies
can provide large reductions in carbon emissions below current levels.
•;Industries;showing;the;largest;job;gains;include;construction,
farming, professional services, public sector, retail, truck transportation,
fabricated metals and electrical equipment.
•;The;construction;industry;directly;benefits;from;almost;all;the
growing renewable energy and energy-efficiency sectors as well as from
improvements in overall economic growth due to energy savings. Farming directly benefits from biomass and biofuel technology growth.
•;Many;of;these;jobs;cannot;be;easily;outsourced;due;to;the;on-site
nature required by these roles.
•;The;greatest;numbers;of;renewable;energy;jobs;are;generated
by solar photovoltaics, biofuels, biomass and concentrating solar
power sectors.
