South Carolina Looking to Develop Cleantech Cluster

There seem to be no shortage of US regions looking to jump on the cleantech based economic development opportunity. Earlier this month, he Department of Energy chose Clemson University’s Restoration Institute to build and operate the world’s largest test facility for wind turbine drive trains. This is expected to kick-start a development of a wind-energy cluster in the region.

The Department of Energy estimates that South Carolina could gain 10,000 to 20,000 new jobs related to the wind energy industry in the next 20 years.
