According to the U.S. Energy Department and leaders of the solar and wind industries the rural areas that missed out on economic growth under President Barack Obama are benefiting from the expansion of clean energy. And that growth isn’t driving the collapse of coal mining, according to Abigail Hopper, the recently hired chief executive officer of the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Renewable energy provides 5 times more jobs than coal mines in the U.S.

One person thinks this is smart
Hi Adriaan,
This article is written by Chris Martin on Bloomberg.com and he is quoting Abigail Hopper, the chief executive officer of the Solar Energy Industries Association.
"...the rural areas that missed out on economic growth under President Barack Obama..."
Are you suggesting that it was due to President Obama? If you wanted to suggest that, that is fine by me (although I doubt it's accuracy). If you did not want to suggest that, you may reconsider the way you state this, since it is misleading.
