Experts Predict 1 Million Jobs In Wind Energy By 2010

According to a recent forecast from the Council of the Global Wind Energy, a million people will work in the wind industry by 2010, and over 3 million wind jobs by 2050. Today there are about 400,000 people working in this industry.

Why wind? The brokerage firm Goldman Sachs believes that wind has a significant advantage over solar energy in Europe due to the stability and maturity of the industry.

Wind energy is expanding outside of Europe, a project of 5 GW of capacity outside of China, is currently in development and will have the generating capacity of France and the UK together.
