Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar met with workers at an innovative solar panel company in Longmont, CO that has created more than 200 ‘green jobs’ in two years and expects to double employment by next year.
“Abound Solar and hundreds of renewable energy companies are sprouting up across the nation,” Secretary Salazar said.
“The President’s energy policy is jump-starting the creation of cutting-edge firms that together will generate millions of jobs, restore America’s role as a global leader in the clean energy industry, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and cut carbon pollution.”
