Bill Tauber the "Green Energy Coach™"

Germany has devolved 250,000 new jobs in renewable energy, including nearly 50,000 wind power jobs in the last 5 years alone – remember Germany is only 25% the size of the U.S – that’s equivalent to a 1 Million jobs in the U.S. The government worked to promote a green culture thorough all levels of society. They started with simpler parts, like automating systems in office building to use less power. Financial incentives were given to people who retrofitted their homes with renewable sources. Police officers ticketed polluting cars that drove in emsssion-reduction zones.

Competitors challenged citizens to see who could save the most power. School children in the city of Heidelberg who devised and implemented successful plans received some of the money they saved to use in their classrooms.

The green jobs creation program costs the average German family $38 per year on its utility bill. The county lead Europe in develop and exporting green technology, generating $240 billion in annual revenue. And the German government continues to lead by example; its parliament building is set to run solely on green energy.
