In his latest effort to combat global warming, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to enlist the state's troubled youth.
The governor today announced the new California Green Corps., a statewide effort to train at-risk young adults between 16 and 24 years old for jobs in the state's fledgling green tech industry.
