Howie Hawkins has an interesting plan for the job reform we so desperately need. He obviously plans to do things like build bridges and buildings and other social programs for temporary work as well as making NYC completely energy efficient. Hawkins even says "We have a world-class study by Cornell and Stanford scientists, engineers, and economists showing that converting to 100% clean energy is technically and commercially feasible with solar, wind, smart-grid, energy-efficiency, energy storage, and other clean energy technologies that are commercially available now. It is a massive jobs program as well. It will take 4.5 million jobs in manufacturing and construction to build out the system in 15 years. The official number of unemployed today is about 750,000. People will be moving to New York to work these jobs. And the electric rates will fall, reducing a major deterrent to the location of manufacturing in New York State, which has the highest electric rates in the lower 48 states" (Hawkins). He plans to make us totally green by 2030.
. That will open up possibilities for TONS of jobs. you can make or keep maintenance on wind turbines or water wheels or solar panels. This idea is brilliant because it makes tons of new jobs that are not underpaying and it makes NYC green at the same time! Its a stroke of genius as well as one of the reasons that people may just have made him the first serious third party candidate in a long time
