  1. Obama can promise as many “green collar” jobs as he wants, but this industry will not grow until it actually becomes profitable. I don’t see this happening in the near future. People won’t simply turn “green” because they feel like doing a service to mother nature and father environment. Oh and don’t expect too many automobile alterations after Obama’s new emissions initiative. These kinds of laws have been in place for 30 years and have yet to drastically alter the auto fleets. Just watch, in 10 years I will still be able to buy that gas-guzzling 10-cylinder BMW m6 I’ve always wanted!

  2. Yes, ultimately this all depends on whether or not these ideas and products actually ‘sell’ – if indeed there are changes made in the auto industry, then this is exactly what I was talking about when I said that the supply of said jobs depends directly with the success of these technologies.
