February 6th, 2009 The Blade, Toledo, Ohio in Technology / Physorg.com
The head of the federal government’s effort to promote solar technology told about 200 industry leaders yesterday that expanding the industry to the level needed by 2030 will require unprecedented levels of growth.
Mr. Lushetsky predicted that the solar energy industry — including manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors — ultimately could employ 4 million people. But he noted tremendous challenges are involved as the public and private sectors work to incorporate solar energy into a national electrical grid that’s in need of its own upgrade.
