to create five million "green-collar" jobs over the next 10
years, some are predicting these new career paths in energy
efficiency and clean power will transform the American economy.

advisor on green jobs at the president's Council for Environmental
Quality. Now that he has the president's ear, will Jones be
creating a new career frontier for America?
