Terry Black, Co-Owner of Green Way Supplies in Indianapolis talks about renewable energies in the state of Indiana, the opportunities for small companies and the need for stronger state incentives.

This interview has been conducted in preparation of the Midwestern Green Jobs Project 2010. The Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung and the the Blue Green Alliance organize this project which will discusses current and future policy measures for the transition to a low-carbon economy and the creation of green jobs. From July 12-16, 2010 the Midwestern Green Jobs Tour will lead to Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio. By sharing experiences from European states, such as North-Rhine-Westphalia, the former German industry stronghold, the dialogue will provide state legislators, union -, environment-, faith-, business- and other local leaders with best policy examples allowing to strengthen economic and political strategies for creating permanent jobs in the low-carbon economy. After the tour a report with policy recommendations will be commissioned and presented at a briefing in Washington, DC.
