It’s The Economy, Stupid

written by Shari Shapiro

One of my loyal readers was kind enough to bring to my attention a troubling article from the Washington Post in which a man who had earned 9 green certifications and sent out hundreds of resumes still has yet to receive a single job offer.

In September, I spoke at a Woodrow Wilson Foundation event on green jobs for women.

Best Practices for Nonprofits Working in Renewables

written by Jeff Kart

There are all kinds of tax credits and other green incentives in the new economic stimulus bill.

But nonprofits are being left out of the mix. Such organizations are usually ineligible for federal tax incentives for renewable energy projects, according to folks from the National Development Council.

The council, one of the oldest national nonprofit community and economic development organizations in the U.S., aims to change that. The group has secured $1.5 million for a solar installation project at the Gasser Foundation‘s base in Napa Valley, Calif.
