As I stated in this post, I really wish one of Denver's colleges would create a renewable energy program for students. I think that if Colorado wants to be a renewable energy powerhouse then there needs to be accredited programs that people can study. In my opinion, the local workforce needs to be educated and retrained in the ways of renewable energy via local colleges if we want to be able to provide the thought leadership on renewables.
Just a short while ago I took Ken Thames' Intro to PV class and then the hands-on class where we physically installed PV panels on a roof, wired them up and then ran a small workshop appliance. It was educational and it was really cool to see my hard work produce electricity right before my eyes.
So, as you can tell, I really am interested in furthering my knowledge of renewable energies via a classroom setting and this article in The New York Times only whets my appetite more. Anybody have any ideas how we can get local Colorado schools to create a renewable energy program? Leave 'em in the comments section.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
