Q: Why is your Lane College Energy Management Program a national model for energy education? How many competing programs are out there?
ROGER: One reason for our place in the energy education industry is that we have been the only program in the country for many years. It was not until recently that we have helped other programs with getting into the game. And then of course since we focus on quality instruction, we have a reputation of providing a solid course or program. We are also involved with the industry nationally so we stay tuned into what’s happening from a national perspective.
"Oregon was selected largely because of the certificate and degree programs at Lane Community College in Eugene
'Lane has been doing this long before it was hip to be green,' said college president Mary Spilde. 'A lot of the green jobs now are in energy efficiency, and that's where a lot of our programs are focused.'"

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.
