Poll: Missourians Overwhelmingly Believe That Clean Energy Investments Will Create New Jobs
March 30, 2010 by Sam Haswell · 1 Comment
U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Joins Business Panel to Discuss How Clean Energy Can Key Missouri’s Economic Revival
Kansas City, MO— A new Missouri public opinion survey shows that by a 2-1 margin, Missourians believe that investment in clean technologies will help revive the state’s economy and create jobs. U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II joined a panel of business leaders and economic development experts today to discuss the poll results and how bringing clean energy businesses to Missouri will rebuild the state’s dwindling tax base, which has led to a torrent of recent Kansas City school closures and other cuts to vital services.
The roundtable discussion was sponsored by the Apollo Alliance, a national coalition of business, labor and environmental leaders that launched a chapter in Missouri last year. The statewide poll, commissioned by Apollo and conducted late last month by the polling firm Research 2000, showed that Missourians are strong believers in the opportunity for economic recovery posed by boosting investment in clean energy manufacturing. Fifty-seven percent of poll respondents said that investments in clean technologies will help revive the state’s economy, while only 24 percent disagreed.
“Policies that drive clean energy demand are the key to getting our economy back on track and creating jobs for the people of Missouri,” said Rep. Cleaver.
According to research by the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) and Center for American Progress, a $150 billion annual national investment in clean energy resulting from Recovery Act funding and climate and energy legislation will generate major employment benefits for Missouri.
“The combination of Recovery Act funding and proposed federal clean energy investments could lead to a net increase of approximately $2.9 billion in investment revenue and 36,000 new green jobs in Missouri,” said Michael Peck, an Apollo Alliance Board Member and director of external relations for wind energy company Gamesa USA.
The Pew Charitable Trusts released a national economic study last year which showed that green jobs grew nearly two and a half times faster than overall job creation between 1998 and 2007. During that time, clean energy jobs in Missouri grew at twice the rate of overall jobs, and the state now boasts more than 1,000 green businesses which employ nearly 12,000 people.
Chris Chung, CEO of the economic development group Missouri Partnership, said it is impossible to ignore the potential of clean energy industries. “Green technology represents arguably the most promising opportunity for domestic and international businesses to create new jobs and prosperity here in Missouri,” he said. “This path to success can be accelerated by public policy that invests in helping businesses and customers prepare to meet the growing demand for clean energy.”
The American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act, passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2009, would put a cap on carbon and establish a Renewable Energy Standard that will generate unprecedented demand for clean energy, its components and systems. According to news reports, U.S. Senators John Kerry, D-Mass., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, will soon unveil a climate and clean energy bill they hope will gain enough bipartisan support to pass the long-gridlocked Senate.
The House energy bill would provide capital for small and mid-sized manufacturers to become more energy efficient and retool to expand into the clean energy supply chain. Once enacted, these investments – based on U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s “Investments for Manufacturing Progress and Clean Technology (IMPACT) Act” – will create or retain at least 680,000 direct manufacturing jobs across the country and nearly 2 million more jobs in related industries over the next five years.

Apollo Welcomes Four to its Staff
May 4, 2009 by Keith Schneider · Leave a Comment
It takes intelligence, expertise and stamina to foster America’s transition to a clean energy, good jobs economy. The Apollo Alliance gains all that and more in welcoming Sam Haswell, Dana Sevakis, Shanelle Smith, and Joe Thomas to our communications and field staff.
“These are people of exceptional skill who are committed to Apollo’s mission of clean energy and good jobs,” said Cathy Calfo, co-director of the Apollo Alliance. “Sam, Dana, Shanelle and Joe are valuable additions to the Apollo team.
Sam Haswell, our senior communications associate, brings a decade of marketing and communications experience in the public and private sectors to his role at Apollo. From 2006 to 2009, Sam was the director of communications for Rainforest Action Network (RAN), where he oversaw all of the organization’s communications strategies and platforms, and supervised a five-member staff. Prior to joining RAN, Sam managed communications and media strategy for Oceana Inc.’s successful campaign to convince Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines to install advanced wastewater treatment systems fleet-wide. He also helped launch Oceana’s Stop Seafood Contamination campaign, which, since early 2005, has worked to eliminate the use of mercury in chlorine production. Earlier in his career, Sam served as press secretary to former U.S. Senator Mark Dayton and as deputy communications director for Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Mike Ciresi. Sam earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Colorado in Boulder, and studied literature and philosophy at the University of Uppsala in Sweden.
Dana Sevakis, Apollo’s Michigan state coordinator, began her organizing career while attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she helped direct the local chapter of Rainforest Action Network. During that time, she worked on RAN’s campaign to convince Home Depot and other major home improvement retailers to not sell products made from old-growth and rainforest timber. The successful campaign earned the Boulder chapter national recognition. After graduating in 2000 with a B.A. degree in environmental studies, Dana joined the Chicago Recycling Coalition to improve the city’s “Blue Bag” recycling program. She also worked for Chicago Jobs with Justice, a labor-community coalition engaged in strengthening worker’s rights. In 2004, Dana, a Michigan native, returned to the Detroit area as a member of the political and communications staff for SEIU Local 3, a Midwest regional “Justice for Janitors” local. During the 2008 national election, she was a consultant for Michigan Voice, a state group that coordinated civic engagement organizations, and America Votes, a national organization focused on mobilizing voters.
Shanelle Smith, our Ohio state coordinator, was a leader in the Kent State University NAACP chapter before graduating with a degree in political science. Shanelle was recently named a 2009 Ohio Political Leaders Fellow by the Center For Progressive Leadership, joining 45 other outstanding young leaders in the center’s inaugural class. Shanelle interned at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. A native of Perrysburg who was raised in a strong union family, Shanelle is completing an M.A. in political science from the University of Toledo.
Joe Thomas, the new Missouri state coordinator, was raised in St. Louis and spent three years as an organizer in the Show Me state before joining the Apollo Alliance in May 2009. Even before he graduated magna cum laude in 2007 with a B.A. in English literature from Washington University, Joe was a trainer in grassroots organizing with the United States Students Association, teaching college students how to build effective direct action organizations on campus. He also was the student youth co-chair for the St. Louis Area Chapter of Jobs with Justice, focusing on connecting students to community, labor, and religious organizations. After graduation, Joe was a deputy field organizer with Missouri Campaign for Change, and served in a number of organizing and office staff positions with Missouri Jobs With Justice, a coalition of community, labor, student, and religious groups committed to economic justice that grew out of the St. Louis chapter.
Welcome aboard Sam, Dana, Shanelle and Joe.

Kate Gordon was one of Apollo’s first staffers, joining in 2004 as the director of the Apollo Strategy Center, the policy arm of Apollo formerly housed at the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS). She then served as Apollo’s national program director before her promotion to co-director in mid-2008. Kate’s new role as senior policy advisor was prompted by her appointment in June 2009 to senior vice president for energy programs at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C., one of the premier energy policy positions in the country. Kate is nationally recognized for her work on the intersection of clean energy and economic development policy, and especially for helping to shape the modern definition of “green-collar jobs” as “well-paid, career track jobs that contribute directly to preserving or enhancing environmental quality.” She serves or has served on many boards and steering committees including RE-AMP, Clean Wisconsin, the Midwest Agriculture Energy Network, the National Wind Coordinating Committee, and the National Green Industries Policy Retreat. Kate has a long history of working on economic justice and labor issues. At COWS, along with her energy work, Kate focused on corporate tax policy, progressive federalism, and rural economic development. Prior to that she served as an employment and consumer rights litigator at Trial Lawyers for Public Justice in Oakland, California; in earlier years she worked as a tenant organizer and housing advocate in San Francisco. She is a primary or co-author on most of Apollo’s major reports, including The New Apollo Program, Green-Collar Jobs in America’s Cities, Greener Pathways, and the New Energy series. She is also the author of several published articles on contract fairness, federal preemption, mandatory arbitration litigation, and regional economic development.
