A few comments:

1) By short-term I'm thinking 6-12 months. I agree this would be a challenge but it might make sense to "seize the
day," and provide a definitive response to this issue while it's still an issue. Perhaps it's unrealistic but I wanted
to raise the need.
2) There area variety of studies that touch on this subject albeit each with its own nuances and variable
approaches; none that I'm aware of that have been published in a peer reviewed journal (doesn't mean there
aren't any). A few places to start include: the macroeconomic forecasts with different BAU and carbon reduction
scenarios, the PERI report from last fall that looks at the multipliers for REand EEversus conventional energy
resources, the recent report that studies the Spanish context.
3) There-are many layers at which this type of work can be done. The timeframe we work with may vary depending
on the specific methodological approach we take. However, this is an issue where I think we could make a
. significant contribution.

I don't think we will be able to do a net jobs study in the short term, but we need to come up with an
. appropriate response to these criticisms soon. I just spoke to a few people at AWEA about this and they are
discussing it this afternoon. We have talked about how difficult a net jobs analysis will be - does anyone have
peer reviewed examples of net jobs studies that we might read before meeting about this? .

Thank you,

.Ithink it might make sense for us to pull together some proper analysis in the near term on this issue. AWEA policy
people are quite concerned about a recent report published in Spain (likely the one cited here) and I suspect they are
not the only ones. Perhaps national net jobs analysis could be the emphasis of our IMPLAN training.

Hi a;Ll,

Eric and I had a brief conversation about this yesterday, and there were some emails abo~t
what we could and couldn't do in this area in the short run. Given the bills before
congress, the short run--as in weeks--is an important time horizon. I would be most
interested in further discussion of whether we have something to add beyond what Avi has
done, which could be done in two weeks elapsed time. If we do, I bet we can get Gian's
clients to support it and I'd be willing to argue for it.

I spoke with Gian about developing a response to the Spanish study including a review of

what Avi Gopstein alr-eady put .together. We agreed that your team should go ahead with it,
estimated budget of $5K.

There's a short run need for a response to the Spanish study during -the next 10 days to two .

Gian, it would also be helpful.to understand the source of the notion that U Mass is to be a

. Hi Suzanne-

Two questions: (1) will we have something ready on this timeframe that we're comfortable releasing to the outside, and
(2) are there issues with the no-lobbying prohibition? I.recognize that-this is not a lobbying piece per se, but
contributing directly to an AWEA and UCS communique could raise eyebrows. This may be perfectly ok, but I don't
really know and we should check. Michelle Kubik would be a place to start.

Steve, Jeff, Suzanne, Jack -

The AWEA team just met yesterday (and at WINDPOWER last week) on how to deal with this Spanish jobs
study which won't die and the Alvarez guy is on E&E 1V today again talking about it, .
htlD:ffwww.eenews.net/tv/2009/05/13/. Attached is the series of events I have been tracking. Jack from the
Business Council has been tracking as well so jump in with more info (Jack, we met on the spot so I didn't have
a chance to get you over here!)

Attached are a variety of talking points that have been developed by either GWEC, the Spanish Wind Energy
Association, or us, but we need to go further because this thing won't die. I am trying to reach out to CAP
today to see what they can do to help (they put out a response article), but wanted to see if UCS has done
anything already. Suzanne, this is what I wanted to chat today about.

Thoughts?

All,

Here is a draft from Eric and me, on a memo/ response from NREL to the Spanish RE jobs report
that was sent around a few weeks ago: http://www.juandemariana.orgjpdf/090327-employment-
public-aid-renewable.pdf
We do not yet have a plan for distribution of this report, but would like to discuss it soon.

Avi Gopstein has rebutted this study as well. And we are working with AWEA (who is working
with UCS and others) to put out a response to this report, which is methodologically unsound,
and states that renewable energy policy in Spain (and therefore in the U.S.) is a wast~ of
money and actually costs jobs rather than creates jobs. The report directly addresses the
Obama Administration's ideas and policies.

If you have time, please have a look at our draft, and know that it is still a work in
progress. We appreciate any comments - you can just send them to me,

Hi Doug and David,

Our response to the Spanish jobs report isn't a technical report or a white paper. It's just a 'response' and could be sent
in email form. Is it okay if we send our response to colleagues at AWEA and CAP? We promised it to them many weeks

Suzanne,

Do we trust AWEA and CAP not to distribute it further? On the one hand, this is way overdue which is partly my fault-
over the last three weeks I've been on three different trips put of the office and I have been on the critical path. On the
other hand, I'm now seeing a way to make the presentation flow better and look less partisan. I've outlined it. Let me
see if I can write it out over lunch today and get it to you this afternoon. We could send that version to AWEA and CAP if
you're ok with it. Alternatively we can send the existing version around internally as Doug suggests but I'm hesitant
about sending it outside.

Doug, any thoughts?

AWEA asked for our comments. We told them in early June that we'd get them some comments. So now they are waiting
for our comments. I'm not sure what else to tell him.

Maybe you could tell him that we want to send it to DOE, and that they asked for it a while ago. It was not written to be
.an 'internal use only' document and isn't all that useful if it's never going to see the light of day.

Hi Doug,

AWEA asked for an NREL response. I can tell them that they could ask PERI to
comment also. Do you know Robert? Just curious why you would suggest him out of
all the people who study and write about RE jobs.

Thanks,
Suzanne

Also, related to the AWEA requests, pis indicate that your analysis at this stage is internal only.
They may want to contact Robert Pollin at U.MASSfor public comments.

Suzanne,

I looked back at the emails and I talked to Bob Hawsev this morning. Please include
a header or footer on the memo (if it isn't already there) that says "For internal Use
Only. Not for Publication" and send the memo to Bob Hawsey. Please copy me.
Bob will respond back to Jacques and make sure thatit also gets to Megan McCluer.
For delivery to David Rodgers, please send the memo to Gian Porro for delivery. We
will leave it to Jacques and/or David to communicate with Cathy Zoi.

Thanks

if Doug can nudge Robert Pollin, that would help. We can contact Greg about it. If these external reviewers might not
review it in time, perhaps we should send it to some alternates. Andrew Light at CAP or Avi Gopstein at DOE come to
mind.

Bob told me that he and Bobi will sit down with Doug next week and talk about it. I'm not sure if that is still the plan, but
it seems like Michelle will get it to us early next week (we should ping her about that) and then our other reviewers too.
Let's ask for a response by next Wednesday.

Assuming we can receive comments from our additional external reviewers sometime next week, I can't see why it
wouldn't be ready by labor day.

Eric and Suzanne-

Can we plan to incorporate all comments and have it go final by Labor day as Bob H asks and apparently an unnamed
sponsor is demanding?

Doug, maybe you're in a position to encourage MichaelPoliin to respond quickly to Suzanne and Eric's request for
review.
