Edwards links jobs, energy

-- Kevin -- 07/19/2007

Speaking in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on July 12, John Edwards discussed the potential for creating rural jobs while solving global warming.  Here's how the Des Moines Register reported it the next day:

"Edwards predicted enormous economic potential for rural areas if America focuses on new energy sources, such as wind and biofuels. He said at least 1 million new jobs will be created by such changes, which must be made to head off global warming. Small towns should be able to share in those jobs, he said."
