TRANSPORTATION
The next four programs in our Green Careers series promise to be exciting, eye-opening adventures into the real world of Green Jobs. From high atop a wind turbine to riding a bullet train to turning algae into energy, this fascinating behind the scenes look into science, technology, government and industry is an inspiring and enlightening ride for all who dream of making a difference on Planet Earth. Clean Energy - Biofuels
We visit a state-of the-art ETHANOL PLANT in Macon, Missouri where a MAINTENANCE ELECTRICIAN, PRODUCTION OPERATOR, QUALITY CONTROL DIRECTOR and PLANT ADMINISTRATOR oversee the conversion of corn into fuel. We also examine new technology in advanced biodiesel, produced from animal fats and from algae and waste materials. This new technology is expanding opportunities for LAB TECHS, ENGINEERS and RESEARCHERS and creating green jobs for an energy independent future from home grown renewable resources.Clean Energy - Geothermal Power
We visit the largest geothermal operation in the world to see how heat from the earth’s core is transformed into electricity. We meet a CHEMIST, GEOLOGIST, PLANT OPERATOR, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER and ENGINEER as they show us how they manage steam production wells and electric generators. This growing field relies not just on professionals with advanced degrees but entry- level workers who drill the wells and maintain the power plants in this vanguard of clean energy. Clean Energy - Wind Power
From the Great Plains to the ocean shore and out at sea, the race is on
to make the United States the world’s number one producer of wind
power. We explore a new wind ranch to see the full range of new jobs
from entry-level WIND TURBINE TECHNICIAN to CRANE OPERATOR, WIND POWER COMPUTER ANALYST and up to OPERATIONS MANAGER. We also visit a leading
university taking part in the California Wind Energy Initiative where
young wind power researchers are beginning their new careers designing
better windmills and the wind energy systems of the future.
Transportation
We visit Toyota Motors where AUTOMOTIVE DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS and MANAGERS are teaming up to create the cleaner, more efficient cars of tomorrow. We then follow the new breed of CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR who makes sure today’s highway construction meets new environmental standards. Lastly, we examine the plans from HIGH SPEED RAIL CONSULTANTS, PLANNERS and URBAN DESIGNERS who are using the newest information technology to reconfigure America’s future transportation corridors and the urban centers they’ll connect. GREEN TRANSPORTATION will be a new pathway to jobs in construction, design, engineering, finance, and management.Click here to order the full Green Careers Series of 12 and save an immediate 15%!Other titles in the Green Careers Series (click individual titles for more information):Building Green • Clean Energy: Solar Power • Environmental Justice • Green Design • Recycling • Restoring the Land: Hazardous Waste Management • Sustainable Agriculture • Water ManagementClick Here to download our Green Career Brochure (PDF Format)
