Here is a recent  blog post from the Apollo Alliance.  It addresses the importance of re-building America's infrastructure, which is a core concept in the creation of Green Collar Jobs.

Key to implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are the statements of principles issued by the Apollo Alliance and many of its state and national partners to assure that the more than $100 billion that Congress authorized for clean energy development is spent “in a way that truly moves America toward a sustainable economy with broadly shared prosperity.”

The national Apollo Alliance statement of principles calls for every Recovery Act dollar “to be spent in a way that promotes climate stability and energy security by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and our overall dependence on foreign oil.” The national Apollo Alliance also insists that Recovery Act funds should be invested “to do projects at a scale large enough that they can create multiple jobs and job training opportunities.”
