klcc_publicradio_logoSpecial Issues: Green Jobs

From the federal to the state level, governments are giving a boost to new technology and energy sources.  President-elect Obama promised five million "green collar" jobs.  Governor Kulongoski is working to bring electric cars--and related manufacturing plants--to the state.  There are also numerous long-term and emerging "green" businesses already in Oregon.  KLCC's Jes Burns has the second in our Special Issues series on the economy.

We do OK with most parts of everyday reality: if someone asked us to guess how much time it'll take to get to the store, or how much a car weighs, or how tall a house is, we'll probably be pretty close. But ask us about energy, and we can be wrong by many orders of magnitude.
