Your Questions About Renewable Energy Certificates
Mark asks…
What possible reason could anybody ever have for wanting to get a renewable energy training certificate?
What possible reason could anybody ever have for wanting to get a renewable energy training certificate?
admin answers:
While NABCEP or some other certification will not guarantee a job, it does give an advantage to an applicant. They show that the person has at least some basic knowledge and/or skills. It also shows an interest in the industry prior to the job posting.
If you know that you can get a job without it, good for you.
If you have no interest in the industry then don’t bother.
If you want to work in the industry or know what you enough to talk intelligibly about topics relating to renewable energy then get training.

Your Questions About Sustainable Energy
Susan asks…
What has Bangladesh done to establish sustainable energy in it’s Nation?
-What projects, project proposals, development plans and in progress plans has Bangladesh had over the years to shift to sustainable energy? Any open declarations by leaders promising energy sustainability would also be appreciated.
admin answers:
I agree that moving toward sustainable energy is very important for Bangladesh and am excited to see the progress in the solar energy that a previous poster mentioned. One big challenge is that in many developing nations, not just Bangladesh, they can set up small solar outfits, but there is no infrastructure in place to share power generated with the larger community. An even bigger challenge is that even if Bangladesh chose to use only sustainable *sources of energy*, the infrastructure right now would still not be capable of fully supporting is population base. There is still a long road ahead for Bangladesh in terms of sustainable energy (not even going into the more holistic view of sustainability), but the seeds have been planted and I’m confident that the people of Bangladesh are up to the challenge and moving in the right direction.
Richard asks…
What type of engineers work in the field of sustainable energy?
What type of engineers work in the field of sustainable energy? For example solar power energy, wind energy, wave energy, water current energy. Would it be environmental engineering, civil or Mechanical?
thanks
what do you mean bbullough
admin answers:
Typically mechanical or chemical… But mostly engineers who work for companies that survive only on government subsidies and tax breaks… ’cause it ain’t sustainable.
