Achievements : Apollo Alliance
The Apollo Alliance is a coalition of labor, business, environmental, and community leaders working to catalyze a clean energy revolution that will put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of high-quality, green-collar jobs. Inspired by the Apollo space program, we promote investments in energy efficiency, clean power, mass transit, next-generation vehicles, and emerging technology, as well as in education and training. Working together, we will reduce carbon emissions and oil imports, spur domestic job growth, and position America to thrive in the 21st century economy
Glenn Beck "Uncovers" Conspiracy Involving Green Jobs Czar Van Jones (VIDEO)
Beck looks at Obama's green jobs czar, Van Jones, and he doesn't like what he sees - claiming to "uncover" a vast conspiracy between the green movement, big labor, and communism
Van Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jones position with the Obama Administration has been described as "switchboard operator for Obama's grand vision of the American economy; connecting the phone lines between all the federal agencies invested in a green economy."[17]
Jones' responsibility is to work within all the government agencies to make sure the $30 billion from the stimulus earmarked for green-jobs funding attached to it gets "doled out appropriately."[17]
Political evolution
Jones started his career as a staunch critic of capitalism; his outrage over the Rodney King verdict radicalized him to the point where he declared himself a communist (which he has since renounced) and actively began protesting police brutality[18]. He later got involved with Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM), a collective which "dreamed of a multiracial socialist utopia".
