"Spanish protest party Podemos teamed up Monday with a top US anti-austerity economist to launch a green energy plan which they said could create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
"Vying to drive out Spain's governing conservative Popular Party in the year-end general election, Podemos turned for its energy investment programme to Robert Pollin, who has worked as an adviser to the US Department of Energy and the United Nations.
"In a study presented in Madrid with Podemos leaders, Pollin calculated Spain could create 320,000 jobs a year by investing in renewable energy sources and measures to boost energy efficiency."
