Energy Education for a New Era
As concerns for global warming rise, so does the need for educated personnel to be able to meet the requirements for the new consciousness. The need for qualified workers in this new field of commerce is essential if it is to succeed.
At present, there are more than seventy ethanol plants that are under construction. In the next year and a half, they will need qualified personnel to staff these plants that are knowledgeable in renewable energy and programs that will increase fuel efficiency. Bismarck State College and Minnesota West are just two of the schools that are answering the call for these new skills.
The call for qualified technicians in this field is rapidly rising and not only are ethanol production facilities getting in on the need for quality education, but colleges across the United States are addressing the issue of needing qualified applicants to take over the reins of finding alternative energy sources for powering our world.
There are many other schools that are getting in on the need for skilled recruits to help run the ethanol production plants that are now in construction. The colleges of the Midwest seem to be more in tune with the skills needed for this new technology and many of the state universities of this region have addressed the need for qualified workers in the area of renewable energy.
The more our education system addresses the problems of using fossil fuels to power our world, the better chance we have of making a new tomorrow for future generations. The industrial age was only a short time ago and if we take the time to address the mistakes we have made towards the earth and its environment, we are sure to come up with a workable solution.
