The transition to a renewable energy economy will mean more than just a change in energy policy—it will signal the emergence of a more equal economic system and the breakup of massive concentrations of wealth bound up in our reliance on fossil fuels. And it will require an activist movement that dares to challenge the country to choose between corporate plutocracy or a green, fair economy. In this interview with Kevin Gosztola at Netroots Nation 2011, Peaceful Uprising's Tim DeChristopher explains how environmental activists are using civil disobedience techniques learned from earlier American social movements to take bold action to resist the anti-environment status quo. DeChristopher currently faces up to four and half years of jail time for disrupting a 2008 auction of public lands arranged by the Bush administration. For more videos visit www.TheNation.com

Pew Finds Clean Energy Economy Generates Significant Job Growth

WASHINGTON The number of jobs in America's emerging clean energy economy grew nearly two and a half times faster than overall jobs between 1998 and 2007, according to a report released today by The Pew Charitable Trusts. Pew developed a clear, data-driven definition of the clean energy economy and conducted the first-ever hard count across all 50 states of the actual jobs, companies and venture capital investments that supply the growing market demand for environmentally friendly products and services. Pew found that jobs in the clean energy economy grew at a national rate of 9.1 percent, while traditional jobs grew by only 3.7 percent between 1998 and 2007. There was a similar pattern at the state level, where job growth in the clean energy economy outperformed overall job growth in 38 states and the District of Columbia during the same period. The report also found that this promising sector is poised to expand significantly, driven by increasing consumer demand, venture capital infusions, and federal and state policy reforms. America's clean energy economy has grown despite a lack of sustained government support in the past decade. By 2007, more than 68200 businesses across all 50 states and the District of Columbia accounted for about 770000 jobs. Pew's definition of the clean energy economy is based on research and input from experts in the field, including an advisory panel convened to help guide the study. According to Pew, "a clean energy economy generates jobs ...

Two weeks ago State Rep. Joe Atkins (DFL -- Inver Grove Heights) invited former Governor Tim Pawlenty to testify against HF 72 (Beard), a bill which calls for a repeal of a greenhouse gas emission reduction law spearheaded by Gov. Pawlenty in 2007. The former Governor did not respond. In the absence of Governor's testimony, Atkins played a short video for the House Commerce committee at today's hearing which included several public comments by Governor Pawlenty's in support of renewable energy policies which HF 72 would repeal. "Governor Pawlenty has shown the courage to stand for renewable energy and its job growing potential in Minnesota," said Atkins. "It seems appropriate for us to get his input before we dismantle legislation he signed that made Minnesota a nation leader in the emerging renewable energy economy." **Speech at 2:00 given to Midwest Ag Energy Network Summit, not Great Plains Institute**
