Kentucky's Clean Energy Corps will be training Green Ambassadors to teach their communities how to save on their utility bills, as they protect the environment and help promote demand for the creation of green collar jobs.

According to Jonathan Miller, Kentucky's Secretary of Finance:

"To be a Green Ambassador, you don't need to be an expert--all you need is a passion for serving your community and your planet." 
 
The Clean Energy Corps believes that training folks to spread the message about going green in communities will help to ensure that the demand for energy efficiency improvements continues when the stimulus dollars dry up in a few years.  As demand for green improvements increases, more jobs for energy auditors and green construction workers, thereby boosting our state's economy.

(KFTC will simultaneously be working through the Kentucky Sustainable Energy Alliance to pass state policies aimed at driving up demand for energy efficiency and renewable energy services during the 2010 legislative session.)
