New Alternative Energy Jobs

Poland, one of Europe's most coal-dependent nations has decided to make a big move into the green revolution. They are tranitioning from coal to green energy and are on line to create 350,000 new green jobs related to alternative energy by 2020.

Even better news for the country at large is that the number of these new green jobs is nearly double that of those currently in the coal-mining industries.

Poland presently relies on coal powered energy for 94% of its energy needs. This move towards the use of alternative energy is intended to eliminate as much as possible of Poland's nearly total dependence on fossil fuels as part of the EU's climate package limiting greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
