It's the Kids or the Rat
Okay. We're not going to really talk about rats, but imagine the outcome if you had to decide on the survival of your family over sparing an endangered animal. I love life, I love nature. But at some point we have to make a decision that results in a better tomorrow. I'll come back to this.
The Sacramento Business Journal recently posted the report, "California, Sacramento keeps growing 'green' jobs" which highlights the achievements of the region that includes California's Core Green Economy Job average annual growth rate of 3%.
First, I want go in to Next 10's report and focus on ideas for the green-tern. Page 14 (report is no longer avail as of 2018) provides a quick reference table of Green segments and job types that can help you with your research for careers in the Green industry. Another great find in this report is how major cities are defined by the type of energy solutions they focus on determined by employment shares. For example:
Bay Area = Energy Solution, which includes solar, wind, bio, etc.
Inland Empire = Recycling & Waste
Los Angeles = Recycling & Waste
Orange County = Clean Transportation and Alternative fuels
Sacramento = Air & Environment and Energy Generation
Sacramento Valley = Agriculture Support, Energy Generation, and Air & Environment
San Diego = Energy Generation, Water & Wastewater, and Clean Transportation
This can help you create a career path strategy if you want to include location as a consideration.
Going back to the Sacramento Business Journal article, it's always good to read about economic growth, especially if your in the region, let alone the industry. While its no surprise that solar continues to be the "go-to" source for renewable energy, you must try stay in tune with all the corners of the bigger picture. In the article, "Growing solar industry faces green backlash", the author brings up an issue that can lead you to question, "What is the real goal here?" The problem stems from America's compassion and drive to save as many species as possible and save the planet at the same time. What you end up with is a conflict of goals with little room for compromise resulting in minimal progress on future renewable energy generation projects. While in China, the country is far more aggressive with its initiatives and outpaces the US. Taken from the article, "Analysts say the prevailing view in China is that the good done by solar plants outweighs any damage they may do to the environment, and concerns about plants and animals are minimal. Not so in the United States." Do you agree?
So this takes us to our latest achievement. In an article from China Economic Net, Chinese and US scientists plan to develop new clean energy solutions and share technological advances. What's important about the collaboration between China and the US is that this provides the US the needed exposure to the Chinese perspective mentioned earlier. China's aggressive views on energy solution may help the US see things differently. It may open up minds to more possibilities and ease our own in-house bickering so we can get on with innovation.
