Federal Dollars Growing Green Jobs

If you are a visual person like me, you may be intrigued by the graphic “Growing the Green Job Boom” by GOOD Magazine and Green For All.  It is a great representation that shows how stimulus money is being spent across our nation for weatherization assistance programs, energy efficiency & conservation, and state energy programs. 

You can’t help but notice the $130.8 million that is going to Texas for weatherization assistance programs!  That’s a lot of energy audits, windows, caulking and insulation.

Kudos to Kansas City, Missouri for creating the “Green Impact Zone” to create jobs and to improve energy efficiencies.

Can any of you find Arkansas on the illustration?  What is up with that?  Perhaps the information needs to be updated.
