Clean energy jolts job markets

Clean energy jolts job markets from the LA Times.

A comment that bothers me is that President Carter squandered billions on alternate fuels. Strange comment, since today we are doing ethanol and a lot of funding into alternate fuels. Just think if the funding had continued from 1981 to now in alternate energy, instead of being started only when oil got expensive and alternate energy became an emergency.

Unfortunately, President Carter has become the President that democrats have forgotten (pretend did not exist). His comment on Israel in his recent book made him ever more politically radioactive (using the word apartheid with Israel), as did how his Presidency is perceived in popular thought. Before his recent book, President Carter had an A+ reputation of his activities after being President. One relative commented he made a better ex-President than he did President. At the recent Democratic Convention, he was not on stage or even mentioned that I remember.
