Solar now employs more than coal, oil and gas combined, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

The fastest growing job in the U.S. is a wind turbine technician.

A new report from the Environmental Defense Fund’s Climate Corps Program says solar and wind jobs are growing 12 times as fast as the rest of the U.S. economy/

The report found there are at least four million jobs in those industries, up from 3.4 million back in 2011.
