The number of clean-energy jobs in the U.S. would more than double by 2025 if the nation adopts a plan to get 25% its electricity from renewable energy sources, says a report backed by energy firms. Nationwide, 274,000 jobs would be created in the wind, solar, hydropower, biomass and waste-to-energy industries by 2025 if a 25% standard is adopted, says research firm Navigant Consulting. Those sectors now support about 196,000 jobs
