At the dawn of the 21st century, gas prices soared, and analysts around the world saw firsthand that the future would need renewable energy if we as a species plan to continue consuming as we do. Something would eventually need to replace fossil fuels as our primary energy source for two reasons. One, the global supply of oil and natural gas is finite, and we’re running out faster than we think. The other reason is the damage that fossil fuels cause to the environment. There is no doubting at this point, fifteen years after the turn of the millennium that global warming and climate change are real. There are already irreversible side effects of the rise in temperature around the globe, but there is still time to save the planet from ecological disaster.
With the need for renewable energy rising every day, there are many career opportunities in the growing renewable energy industry for people who want to make a difference in the world. With an increase in public and private funding, the renewable energy industry is on the rise, leading to many new careers in this fast-growing field. As it is, renewable energy is already a huge market, including solar energy, wind energy, bio-fuels, and more. Expansion is almost assured in this area as well, because the need for renewable energy will increase in the foreseeable future.
Michael Kimner is a twenty-year veteran of the energy industry, and he says that renewable energy is the wave of the future.
