<p class=MsoNormal>OKLAHOMA CITY – Legislation to build on Oklahoma energy
heritage and also create environmental “green jobs” in Oklahoma has gained the
unanimous approval of a state House committee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> House Bill 1682, by state Rep. Seneca Scott,
would create the Green Jobs Pilot Program Act. The bill directs the State Board
of Career and Technology Education to establish an energy efficiency and
renewable energy worker training pilot program. The program would be targeted
an individuals needing updated training, the unemployed, or the economically
and socially disadvantaged.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> “Our economy is shedding jobs every day with
thousands needing new employment or training,” said Scott, D-Tulsa. “I believe
the field of renewable energy holds promise for those workers and will provide
many new employment opportunities in the coming years. It makes sense to train
that workforce in Oklahoma if we want to be on the front edge of this economic
growth opportunity.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Scott noted the measure could leverage future
federal dollars from the stimulus into job training and job creation in
emerging fields such as energy smart heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning; wind; solar; biofuels; smart building construction;
residential/commercial weatherization; and insulation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> House Bill 1682 passed out of the House Higher
Education and Career Tech Committee on a 12-0 vote. It now proceeds to the
floor of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.<o:p></o:p></p>
