Worker Wednesday: October 25 and James Won
Wednesday, October 25
WORKER SPOTLIGHT (brought to you by CE4AEF’s Faces of Clean Energy program)
This week, we spotlight James Wong, head of CS Wind America, whose factory expansion in Pueblo, Colorado will create another 850 good-paying, clean energy jobs in this town south of Colorado Springs.
“President Biden set an ambitious dream for wind power in the United States,” Won recently told the media in Colorado. “We expect our American production to go from around 40% now to close to 50% of our total business by 2028. That’s why it’s so important.”
