If you really want to make a difference to greenhouse gas emissions, why not work in the renewable energy industry, have an interesting, morally and politically acceptable job, and make some clean ‘green’ money at the same time. As Careers in Renewable Energy author Gregory McNamee points out, ‘…the world’s people use more than 80 million barrels of oil a day, and there is much work to do to wean ourselves from our addiction to irreplaceable fossil fuels’.
Conservative estimates show 2,300,000 people worldwide work directly in wind, solar, water and geo-thermal energy design, manufacture, installation and production. The Worldwatch Institute study found jobs in renewable energy are expanding worldwide, while jobs in coal and natural gas are disappearing. A recent United Nations study reported investment in renewable energy rose some 60% in 2007, to $148 billion in new investment money.
Careers in Renewable Energy offers excellent advice on renewable energy career opportunities for unskilled, skilled, degree and post-doctorate qualified individuals. From manual skilled labour, through engineer, scientist, humanities and business entrepreneur, there is a place for everyone in renewable energy.
