Renewable Energy in this form makes up a great amount of the

world’s energy today.

In the past 12 months manufacturing jobs have grown over 25 percent prior to August 2012 to now.

By the end of this year an expected 13,000+ distribution and sales jobs will be available.

The U.S. solar industry currently employees over 119,000 Americans.

There has been a 13.2 percent employment growth in the Solar Energy sector.

5 nations produce 75% of their energy needs through Wind Energy

Wind is the fastest-growing energy sectorWind famers may contain hundreds of

turbines at a time

Denmark receives the majority of its energy from wind energy, up to 1/5 of its energy needsMore efficient than any other renewable source, EROI = 23:1, oppose to coal which = 11:1Over 85,000 people have found employment in this sector

Hundreds of colleges are offering program degrees to train people for jobs

in the renewable energy field

The Break down of a Wind Turbine

Wind turbines produce zero emissions into the air once installed for production. Running a 1-

megawatt wind turbine for 1 year helps prevent 1,500 tones of carbon dioxide, 6.5 tones of

sulfur dioxide, 3.2 tones of nitrogen oxides, and 60 lb of mercury, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

In one study Wind Turbines produced 23 times more energy than it consumed. The energy return-on-investment (EROI) shatters the

numbers of nuclear energy with a ratio of 16:1, coal 11:1 and natural gas 5:1. Meaning Wind energy can supply hundreds of regions, from farmland to industrialized cities, desperately

needing peak power supply daily.

One of the only few accidents recorded.

The Exxon Mobile Factory

Dirty Pollution Filled Energy, known as Natural

Gas, Oil, and Nuclear

The Biggest Exxon Mobile factory complex in the

world….Texas

Documented results of air pollution not authorized by the Federal Clean Air Act,

has accounted for 57 tons of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, along with other

harmful pollutants. Many occurrences documented as "accidents" or formally

termed "tripped" which happens when a malfunction occurs with a compressor.

1,246lbs of Hydrogen Sulfide Around 6,500lbs of nitrogen oxides

1 ton of Human Carcinogens Benzene Around 206,000lbs of Sulfur Dioxide 38,000lbs of VOCs (Volatile Organic

Compounds) 206,000lbs of sulfur dioxide

The Clean Air Act is a law enacted by Congress, which is responsible for

improving, and maintaining the sustainability of our current air quality.

The Clean Air Act is meant to prevent this kind of waste

There has been major changes in the law to help improve it's effi ciency and impact

on our environment, personal health, along with the stratospheric ozone layer.

The Clean Air Act Amendments intend to be responsible for helping prevent over

230,000 deaths which are caused by poor air quality, due to pollutants.

As of today a petition is being signed (besides the current trial) asking for Texans

suffering from this air pollution, to come together with the help of the Texas

Commission on Environment Quality, and the Environmental Protection Agency, to

help compel Texas to agree with their plea through the form of a Federal

Implementation Plan.

According to the EPA about 72,000 Houston area residents are affected by the pollution

of refinery.
