What is the US entry point for renewable jobs?

I earlier posted this link to Hillary talking about killing coal jobs and replacing them with "Renewable Energy Jobs."

Defining wind and solar as the main source of potential renewable energy jobs. A simple Google search indicates that both of these use a LOT of metals such as Copper and Nickel. One site indicated that a wind turbine uses 500 KG of nickel.

As I see it-one potential source of jobs related to "Renewable Energy" jobs starts at the beginning of the process in the mining/processing of copper/nickel etc.

It has come to light in the last few years that Minnesota has world-class deposits of non-ferrous metals (Copper/Nickel etc) in areas that roughly correspond to the historic Iron Range. I like to think of it as "Minnesota's Bakken." Several mining companies are in varying stages of the permitting process for mines. Governor Dayton(Democrat) recently put the kibosh on one of these proposals.

It would be safe to say that the VAST majority of Hillary/Bernie voters in Minnesota are generally opposed to the mining industry attempts to open mines in these areas.

So, these jobs (plus ancillary jobs like those at Caterpillar manufacturing equipment) are not good enough for us. We prefer to export the "Icky" stuff related to the mining of materials necessary for renewable energy to other (poorer) countries.

So we self-limit ourselves from the mining/ore-processing jobs that are inherent in the "Renewable Energy" job cycle.

Which jobs in the sector are good enough for Hillary liberals? At the end stage of the process, I guess we have the guys picking up dead birds around the wind towers and the guys dusting off the solar panels. But where do we get to enter the process?
