BOSTON, Mass. - April 22, 2008 - Green technology, green collar jobs -- catchy labels amid swelling interest in renewable and clean energy.
Here in Massachusetts, there's been a push to catch what could become a "green" tidal wave.

Over next couple of days, we'll examine those questions on Morning Edition.
