I must say that you have really written an unique article informing us about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which is set aside $50 billion in grants and tax incentives to promote energy efficiency and the renewable energy sector. What I have seen in WashingtonPost was that Congress has also approved the Green Jobs Act in 2007. It was about a program to help train American workers for jobs in the renewable energy and energy-efficiency industries. That is really worth inspiring.
