Van Jones gets appointed as White House advisor

Van Jones, author of one of my favorite books "The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems" was recently asked to advise the Obama Administration on transitioning our present economy into a green economy. He focuses on the social aspect of the green movement, highlighting economic, demographic and labor into his assessment, which is refreshing and necessary. Many renewable advocates are only looking at this big picture, and he really focuses on a lot of the details, so I'm happy that he's involved with the transition.
