Green jobs boost likely as UK struggles to hit EU targets?-Green energy jobs News 30 Jul 2010

People currently searching for green jobs opportunities in the UK might be interested to hear that an expert believes that the country may struggle to hit its European Union (EU) renewable energy targets set for 2020.

According to a spokesperson from therenewableenergycentre.co.uk, taxpayers in Britain may have to foot the bill of a "hefty fine" should the government fail to complete these goals overt the next ten years.

However, this situation could be good news for anyone looking for environmental jobs, as a recent report by PricewaterhouseCoopers concluded that cumulative funding of around £10 billion is now required annually for the sector to meet its objectives, which may mean that more employment opportunities become available.

The expert went on to state that the "barriers which hamper both onshore and offshore wind" must be removed in the coming years, as boosting this market in terms of financing and employee numbers could be crucial to the nation's environmental future.
