A state that flourished in a blue collar past might find a future in green collar jobs. The Obama administration’s stimulus billions for alternative and renewable energy is aimed at generating millions of jobs, especially in states with workers who have the skills to produce wind turbines and solar energy panels. Tuesday on the Sound of Ideas, we'll explore Ohio's potential in the coming green economy. We'll define green jobs and talk about how to get one. Join us Tuesday at 9:00.Mayor John Piskura, Sheffield Lake
