Renewable Energy Might Be Slow to Spur U.S. Economy


The renewable energy revolution President Obama wants to jump-start with stimulus money might be coming. But it’s going to take a while.


While Congress and Obama moved quickly to pass the stimulus legislation, corporate planning for the future is more measured. Any increase in green energy must overcome business and regulatory obstacles.


And businesses dominating the renewable energy arena are based outside the United States. Those companies will need to add or expand U.S. manufacturing before incentives in the stimulus package result in jobs for American workers.
