Obama hands out $2 billion for new solar plants, says money will help create thousands of jobs
The government is handing out nearly $2 billion for new solar plants that President Barack Obama says will create thousands of jobs and increase the use of renewable energy sources.
Obama announced the initiative in his weekly radio and online address Saturday, saying the money is part of his plan to bring new industries to the U.S.
“We're going to keep competing aggressively to make sure the jobs and industries of the future are taking root right here in America,” Obama said.
The Obama administration says those projects will create more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs.
Obama said that while it may take years to bring back all the jobs lost during the recession, the economy is moving in a positive direction.
The unemployment rate dropped to 9.5 percent.
Obama has said that to bring the nation's economy back from the brink of a depression, it was necessary to add to the country's debt in the short term.
