BUILDING NEW INDUSTRIES AND CREATING NEW JOBS IN A PLAN B ECONOMY

http://www.earthpolicy.org/Books/Seg/PB2ch12_ss6.htm

Lester R. Brown

Building a new economy, one that can sustain economic progress,
involves phasing out old industries, restructuring existing ones, and creating
new ones. This new economy will be powered by renewable sources of
energy, will have a more diverse transport system--relying more on rail,
buses, and bicycles, and less on cars--and will recycle everything. For
example, coal use will be phased out, replaced by efficiency gains in
many countries, but also by natural gas, as in the United Kingdom, and
by wind power, as in Denmark and Germany.

The world automobile industry will face a modest restructuring as it
shifts from the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine to the
gas-electric hybrid, the diesel-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrids, or
high-efficiency diesel. This will require a retooling of engine plants and the
retraining of automotive engineers and automobile mechanics.

The new economy will also bring major new industries, ones that either
do not yet exist or are just beginning. Wind electricity generation is
one such industry, incorporating three subsidiary industries: turbine
manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. Now in its embryonic
stage, this promises to become the foundation of the new energy economy.
Millions of turbines soon will be converting wind into cheap electricity,
becoming part of the landscape, generating income and jobs in rural
communities throughout the world.

As wind power emerges as a mainstream low-cost source of electricity,
it will spawn another industry--hydrogen production. Once wind turbines
are in wide use, there will be a large, unused capacity during the
night when electricity use drops.
