Granholm on Paris Deal: The Number One Job in the U.S. ‘Is a Wind Turbine Technician’

‘It is going to devastate the economy if he pulls out’

EXCERPT:

GRANHOLM: "There are 3.3 million people in America who are working in the clean energy industry. If you look at my state, there are almost 90,000 jobs in clean energy right now. In Michigan, in Ohio, almost 90,000. It is insane for you to say that this is going to devastate the economy if he pulls out --"
SANTORUM: "It is."
GRANHOLM: "-- when it's going to devastate the economy -- excuse me, it is going to devastate the economy if he pulls out. Our states, our country not leading. These -- the number one job in America right now -- the number one job according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a wind turbine technician. In Ohio, they're building wind turbines.  Scott Walker in Wisconsin just sent out an RFP for biodigestors. We should be building that stuff and sending it abroad."
