Unfortunately while the fastest growing job sector is in the RE field most of those are temporary construction jobs compared to the ones found at traditional power generating plants.
Also the construction of an RE (solar or wind) system is not very technical and does not require a level of education then someone in charge of running or maintaining a power generating plant is required to have.
My fears is that the RE job growth can easily fall off to nothing just like the new home construction jobs did back when the market fell. We should be measuring the economies growth by looking at how well an industry is creating permanent high paying jobs, not temporary ones.
