Wind Power Community Resources

Earlier today our friends over at Wind Power Handbook put out a comprehensive article on getting hired for wind power jobs. The article states that "The wind energy industry is the fastest growing segment of renewable energy production" and this very well may be true for the United States which has clusters of "clean tech" centers focusing on Solar, Biomass, and other technology but limited availability of clean jobs across across agricultural states.

Wind however, blows everywhere so jobs and support positions are growing nation wide. As the image below suggests, even the most remote locations can harness wind and thus require workers. It contrast to Solar jobs, it doesn't matter if you live in Silicon Valley near Nano Solar and have a masters in mechanical engineering or Boulder Colorado near NREL. Even Barack Obama has touched on widespread nature of wind in relation to building a Smart Grid for our nation. If you're on the market for a new job in the world of clean tech or wind power then check out our free green jobs board which actually has a couple of recent wind postings, otherwise cruise on over to the Wind Power Handbook site and give it a look!
