means [such as] solar energy, wind turbines, and hybrid automobiles, that percentage can be lowered.”
Concurrently, the amount of carbon dioxide being spewed into the atmosphere will be reduced, thus curbing the effects of global warming. New jobs are the final piece of the puzzle, because “someone must design, install, and run those wind turbines,” says Ringo. “We see that equating to about 3 million new jobs over the next 10 years.”
“We want to make sure that there’s a fair distribution of the wealth,” says Ringo. “So if someone is going to build a wind turbine facility, why not build it in depressed communities where the economy can be stimulated and jobs created?”
