The American Solar Energy Society has been promoting the benefits of solar energy for over fifty years. With more than 11,000 members across the country, all of whom possibly wear company logo shirts, and numerous groups of supporters, the ASES has been raising awareness on the effects of carbon emissions on climate change.
The ASES has recently published their “Green-Collared Jobs Report” which shows that the renewable energy and efficiency sectors generate nearly 8.5 million jobs and almost $1 trillion in annual revenue in the United States. Not only does this prove the vital importance of renewables, but also the effects of renewables in the U.S. economy. If we are ever to end our nations dependence on foreign energy we need to continue to follow the ASES’ lead.
