Green Stimulus: Not Roads, But Schools & Jobs

As President-elect Obama considers the nature of the next stimulus package, many ideas are being floated around. While an infrastructure spending spree (like the first New Deal) has some merits, we'd see a much better long-term return from a green stimulus package that emphasized green schools and green jobs for a sustainable future. The best outline I've seen for such a package was released by the Campaign for Environmental Literacy (.pdf) and deserves broad attention during this debate.
