#1 - Tue Feb 7, 2012 1:38 AM ESTAnd we haven't even scratched the surface of application of renewable energy. 64,000 jobs in MA. Add those in CA, NY, NJ. CO, AZ, etc and then double it each year for the next 5 to 10 years as more homes, commercial buildings, and utility scale installations are added at faster rates and you have millions employed for 10 years or more building this infrastructure.

All States have those. What MA has is the political will to act in the best interest of its future. That is an accomplishment.

Deval Patrick has been good for Massachusetts.. and rumor is he might be stepping down..(not running again) As Governor he has helped Mass. even got something done that I thought would never happen.. 3 Casinos will be built here.. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country .. If the cost of living here wasn't so high.. he'd be batting 1000...
