Your Questions About Renewable Energy Jobs
William asks…
How in demand will renewable energy jobs be in the near future?
I’m really worried about the economy and looking for a quick certification so I can have some sort of qualification in case it totally goes under. I found a 14 credit hour renewable energy certification at a community college. Do you think this will do any good for finding jobs?
admin answers:
Very high demand for scientists and engineers and designers..
Jenny asks…
Effect of using renewable energy on the economy?
I’m doing a project for my economics class and I have to explain several different ways in which transitioning to renewable energy and relying less on fossil fuels will effect the economy. So far all I really have is that it will create more jobs. I have to be able to write a 5 page paper on this. Please help, this is due tomorrow!

Using less coal will mean fewer coal miners.
Using less petroleum will mean fewer guys working on those deep ocean well drilling rigs.
Using more Wind will mean more money for the farmers that have windmills on their land. And Studying the effects of killing birds from the blades.
Using more solar will mean lots more folks trained on how to install solar panels.
All this also means changes in College courses to prepare for degrees in these areas.
Less petroleum imported will mean a better balance of payments for Commerce.
Less petroleum means less reliance on Air transport and a shift to higher speed trains.
Airplanes are one of the least efficient users of petroleum. Soon Air travel will be only for the very important, rich or for a very infrequent trip.
People will live closer to work unless public transit is available.
If we go to food based crops for energy it will mean we starve people and start wars over food. (BAD idea)
conservation will be very IN due to the higher cost per watt from renewable sources.
