According to a blog on Renewable Energy World.com, a group of states that makes up the Rocky Mountain Energy Producers (Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, specifically) are making news with their growing New Energy economies. These states have been taking great strides in the development and implementation of policies that add to energy efficiency and green energy. To give a comparison, the 1995-to-2007 overall national job growth was 10%, with a growth of 18% in green jobs nationally. Among the Rocky Mountain Energy Producers states, however, overall job growth was 19% and growth in “core green economies” was 30%. Although each of the five states seems to go about New Energy policy in a different way, they all have one thing in common: a commitment to New Energy. We should all take our cue from them, and make a commitment to renewable energy too.
