Welcome back, dedicated reader! Thanks for visiting.
As of the 20th of July, the Indian government will begin developing 60 of its cities into solar cities. Indian officials hope this massive project will reduce the nation’s energy usages by 10%. Not only will this environmental retrofitting help reduce the nations carbon footprint, but it will show other nations the drive and possibility to go solar. India is not the first to undergo such projects, but moving forward, India will place among those nations actively tackling the problems of environmental sustainability and sustainable energy production.
What a triumph! And more needs to be done in the US. Large-scale developments generate thousands of jobs. Engineers, draftsmen, installers, team leads – what better way to generate much needed green jobs than to push for more solar related installations. (Infrastructure development rules.) Just imagine a large scale solar installation campaign in the US, and all the benefits that come along with it. This would add a boost in the economy and a much needed step toward environmental sustainability.
And of course, in order to get jobs in solar there needs to be job training. Training is the groundwork that allows projects like those currently underway in India to begin. And once the process begins it will spread, allowing the creation of more and more jobs in the solar energy field. Are you ready to go?
