After deducting the jobs lost in the non-renewable industries, a net 2,900,000 additional jobs would be available from the conservation and renewable energy program. The picture would be much the same if a similar study were done in Canada. They are not telling us what can happen, they are telling us what they want to happen, to maintain their power. Making the Change To shift away from the energy path chosen by the multinationals will require broad and vigorous public support for conservation and renewable energy.

This pamphlet was written and published in 1981 by Jim McCalla Smith and designed by Gary Robins.
