Wall Street Journal's Environmental Capital Blog mentions a new buzz word in energy policy discussions—blue jobs—jobs associated with oil and natural gas industries.  The industry is pushing to keep the oil and natural gas energy relevant in America’s discussion of energy policy to force policy makers to keep them in mind in the formulating of new policies and programs.  The gas lobby wants to keep “blue jobs” in demand, jobs that total 5.8 million nationwide—in both direct and (sometimes very) indirect jobs that the gas lobby says are dependent on natural-gas related activities.
