Green Jobs?

I find that green jobs and products are the correct path for this world.
I'm really interested in solar panel technology.
I think that the technology has been around a long time except that the people who are making tons of money off of conventional fuels don't want the technology that is available to be used.
So we've all heard the current administration talking about green jobs and clean energy.
I'd like to hear other people's opinions about green jobs and technology.
One of my friends said they used to keep their beer in the river when they would go fishing... I said hey wait.. that's green technology ! hah.
