E2 demonstrates the power of our emerging clean energy economy

Wanted to pass along a great new Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2) report on clean energy jobs.  They’re tracking clean energy job announcements, to correct any misperceptions about the strength and growth of the clean economy.  This report looks at the 118 announcements they’ve come across in the last weeks (from over 100 clean technology companies) and outlines a few trends.
