Bloomberg on Green Job Corps

Bloomberg hasn't specifically endorsed a green jobs program, but he's an astute Fortune 500 businessman, and job creation is par for the course in many of his climate proposals. Here's what he said on green jobs in his November speech before the mayors:

Climate change is...an economic imperative, because clean energy is going to be the oil gusher of the 21st century. Jobs are on the line here – good jobs of every kind: Farm jobs. Factory jobs. Engineering jobs. Sales jobs. Management jobs.

If we don’t capture these clean energy jobs, they’ll just move overseas. To keep these jobs here at home, and to put the brakes on
greenhouse gas pollution, I think we need a strategy that embraces four basic principles, and I’d like to briefly outline them today.
