I'm thinking of a career change to become a Bishop construction of wind farms, but would like an honest assessment of just what is needed (beyond the degree CM) to cut in this area, and is comparable to the compensation the construction industry. Well, I have the answer. I have three very good friends who work in the wind industry. The construciton manger earn very, very good. Workers do well. . As well. Tons of travel. . . But the downside is that the "worker" is the downtime between jobs. Can be transferred immediately to a new place or weeks between jobs. The director is on salary. They pay the travel expenses worthwhile too. I heard the wind equipment refers to the new "oil rigger teams" of our time. They also say that long, hard hours. . But money is awesome.

Wind Energy 2009
January 26th, 2012Spain exposes the waste of wind power in 2009, to discredit an idea promoted by the Obama administration. In response, U.S. Officials banded with business lobbyists to hide the facts. It was a cold day in the Department of Energy, when researchers at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos of Spain released a study showing that every "green job" created by the wind industry killed 4. 27 jobs elsewhere in the Spanish economy. Research director Gabriel Calzada Alvarez did not object to wind itself, but found that when a government artificially the industry with subsidies, higher electricity costs (31%), tax increases (5%) and follow public debt. The fact is that these subsidies have the same "Cuisinart" affect jobs as wind generation has propeller blades on birds. Every green job cost $ 800,000 to build and 90% of them are temporary, he had found. Alvarez did not hide the lessons of Spain by the Obama administration, which has big plans for "green jobs." The report warned of "considerable employment consequences" of "economic self-inflicted wounds." It is expected that the S. U. Could lose 6. 6 million jobs if followed by Spain, and that "certainly must await the results of following this trend." What I discovered was – When the demons of America will never listen to another country? Even his beloved Bush wants nothing to anyone. "Yer either with us or against us yer."
From wind energy industry
December 2nd, 2011Wind power kills thousands of birds each year, which are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty. According to the American Bird Conservancy, U.S. Wind turbines kill an estimated 75,000 to 275,000 birds per year, however, the wind energy industry has not been fined. When Exxon recently killed 85 birds, were fined $ 600,000. Therefore, a fine equal to the wind industry should be between $ 529 to 1941 million dollars. What is the problem, not the Justice Department wants to explore in a bit of pasta? I am not arguing for or against a type of energy. I do not understand how the law may say one thing, but enforcing such prejudices. If the law is insufficient, should not be changed? Cogeneration. . Would be wiser to avoid false conclusions. This is a good life strategy. The link provided from 2007, which probably contains research from 2005-2006. I was so happy to find this – According to research, coal kills 12-17 times more birds per GWh of electricity that the wind does: 20Papers/Sovacool-Contextualizing_Avian_% 20Mortality%. Pdf So with the $ 1. Fine 9 billion for the wind industry provides 1% of U.S. Electricity for coal with 57% of U.S. Electricity and 12-17 times more damage per unit should be a fine of $ 1229-1841bn. I think the best solution is to accept that the deaths of birds occurs (for example, because of the cats, cars, power plants), but to use the laws planning stage to minimize the effect. Do not let the turbines will be built on the migratory routes of birds in danger of extinction, for example. Or the coal mines will be built in their nesting areas. Altamont Pass has much to answer as I understand, new turbines kill birds less Alamont of threshing machines, and apparently is in a very bad place for birds.
