Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up—This handy text reviews careers in solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric energy, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, and nuclear energy as well as employment in green building, management, and transportation. The underlying theme—knowledge is power—aids in the common organization of each chapter, which begins with a brief factual introduction and explains career opportunities, salaries, and required education. A brief bibliography follows each chapter. A broad appendix includes a list of 50 schools where students can study for careers in renewable energy and Web sites for job listings, workshops, and professional organizations, as well as contact information for state energy offices. Illustrations and informative sidebars are scattered throughout. Edifying and accessible, this volume will be a welcome addition for career centers and environmental collections.—Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL

    4.0 out of 5 stars Qualification in renewable energy
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2009
    This book should be called "qualification in renewable energy". It talks how to qualify in seven fields of renewable energy:solar,wind,geothermal, hydroelectric power& marine energy, bio-energy, hydrogen energy & fuel cells and green building. It'll also refer you to college program and certificates and further-study websites/books.

    However the book doesn't list the major companies in each industry/sector. But if it did, the book would be much thicker.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A second career in the making...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book as part of my research into a degree program in renewable energy. I was amazed by the depth of detail about the widespread development of alternative energy systems and the variety of jobs associated with "green" energy. This book has become a major reference work in my growing library of developments in PV, wind, and hydroelectric energy systems. I highly recommend it to anyone considering employment in the growing industry of renewable energy production.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, grounded, and action oriented -- not a boring list of lists
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2008
    If you are looking for the typical career guide that is a dry list of job titles, job descriptions, and employers that is old news the day it goes to print, this is NOT it. Careers in Renewable Energy is what students and career-changing folks will WANT and NEED and can USE to find validation and inspiration as they embark on a career solving our growing sustainability problems!

    I teach an undergraduate Earth Sustainability course that gets students fired up to work toward changes in the ways we produce and consume energy globally. While it's great that they have that motivation, few know where to direct it. I've shared my copy of Careers in Renewable Energy with them, and it seems to go from student to student, never making it back to my bookshelf between!

    The author provides backgrounds on each category of renewables (e.g. hydrogen, solar, wind, geothermal, hydro) as well as applications (e.g. building, transportation). From there, he talks about skill sets and courses that provide the best foundation for various areas and job functions. These roadmaps can be used to customize a curriculum that best prepares one to work in a given renewable energy field. And as we know, energy problems don't align neatly with a given university department!

    Mr. McNamee presents a carefully assembled set of tools, really, to help one on a journey toward a career in renewable energy. There's information on the green universities, certifications, associations, job sites, and publications. The author takes a very holistic approach to career selection and preparation. It's not about "how can I earn the most money" but more about "how can I find a way to contribute to solving our energy crisis?"

    The book is an enjoyable read, succinct yet complete. It is a must-have for anyone considering a new or different career in renewable energy...or anyone advising them! And if you weren't already considering a new career? You might after you read THIS book! Enjoy :-)

    1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing and not particularly inspiring
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    It reads like a secondary school career guide. It is un-inspiring! I would have hoped for more around white collar jobs. Instead it reads "spend 4-5 years retraining to become a solar engineer. Then you can get a job as one". Obvious and pointless. Also, its US-centric.
