This looks at the extent to which new emissions standards for cars are part of Obama's larger strategy to combat climate change and stimulate a green-collar job spike. It provides some evidence and perspective on the potential for green jobs, but it's not completely convincing.

Interesting report about the Obama administration's plans to create a clean-energy economy, with a focus on green-collar jobs and programs that cut back carbon emissions. This short article provides factual evidence from a number of credible sources, and gives helpful context on this important topic. I would have liked to hear a few more independent voices on this issue, and less focus on the White House's position.

This piece is full of talking points and vague assertions, coming off too sympathetic to the president. One of the few examples of hard numbers about job creation in the piece comes from the Solar Energy Association, hardly an impartial voice in the green jobs debate.

This is a well written story that reads easily and delivers on the title. The fact is, irrespective of any particular citizens point of view on the underlying subject - this report was informative and accurate, pointing out that this is the beginning, that is, challenging auto emissions standards. Regardless of the spin in much of the corporate media - this article reported the occurrence, the context and the sentiment accordingly. It was an agreement - and many other reports have not acknowledged that but simply described it as an arbitrary decision by the Obama administration, This brief report was comprehensive in its presentation of facts.
