Down To Earth

How many jobs would solar create?

Here's something to debunk the myth that green job investments are a job killer.



Stronger solar policies could create over 100,000 jobs rather quickly, according to the above infographic from One Block Off the Grid. Thinking longer term, over ten years, if state legislators instituted strong solar incentives, Texas would gain 21,714 jobs and Florida 16,858, not to mention thousands of jobs in other states.

One Block Off the Grid organizes group deals on solar energy and since 2008, they've run hundreds of group deals in over 40 U.S. states and helped thousands of homeowners go solar.
