Green-collar jobs?

I missed the last debate (uh, and most of them so far), but apparently "green-collar" jobs were mentioned as a way improve the economy and the environment. See here for what it all means.

Creating enough green-collar jobs to beat global warming and create real economic opportunity for those who most need it is a tall order. It will require a major transformation of the American economy, and we must be clear about the terms of this transition. Only then will we have a yardstick to measure real progress against exciting rhetoric.
