A study by the non profit group Blue Green Alliance was released this week which suggests North Carolina's has a potential to add 20,000 new manufacturing jobs.
If Congress passes a national clean energy bill standard, hundreds of those jobs may be coming to New Hanover County.
There are currently at least thirty companies in New Hanover County that could expand into to production geared toward for renewable energy sources, such as wind farms and solar panels.
Alex Mohajer with advocacy group Environment North Carolina says for the bill to pass we need to urge our local Congressmen like Mike McIntyre n NC to support these bills before Congress. Mr McIntyre voting record shows he voted against an amendment for a renewable energy standard, although he did vote for the Clean Energy Bill itself.
Another report by the Renewable Energy Policy Project found that New Hanover County could get close to 400 new jobs from focusing on renewable energy such as wind turbines and solar panels
