Alternative Energy Engineering Technology Jobs
Will there be an increase of engineering jobs in the near future?
"WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama, who is set to announce his economic team, promoted an economic plan Saturday he said would create or save 2.5 million jobs by spending billions of dollars to rebuild roads and bridges and modernize schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars."
"'We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels," Obama said. He also made a commitment to fuel-efficient cars and alternative energy technologies "that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead.'"

Unfortunately in the very near future (the next year) available jobs in general will drop. This probably includes engineering. Any government plans will certainly help, but probably will not be greater than the lost jobs from industry.
In the long run I think engineering jobs will increase. So in the meantime get as much education as you can. If you can get a job, work as hard as you possibly can.
Values and political balance James "Duke" Aiona sees the danger, if one-party rule returns to Hawaii. The Republican Lieutenant Governor does not consider it work in the four decades before being elected Linda Lingle eight years ago and is not on the national stage in the past two years, President Barack Obama and Congress worked.
