Over 130 attend the SGPB Webinar: Clean Energy Economy in the South

Thursday, Dec. 3. In June 2009, the Pew Center on the States released a state-by-state analysis that estimates the number of jobs in the Clean Energy Economy from 1998 to 2007 and found that jobs in the clean energy economy grew at a faster rate than all jobs combined. This webinar presented by Southern Growth Policies Board will feature Kil Huh, Director of Research at the Pew Center on the States. Huh will discuss the results of the report in terms of the findings, implications, and opportunities for the South. Read more about Southern Growth’s webinars.
