The film is being distributed to 5,000 schools nationally as part of Engineers week. Chapter One on the educational DVD is titled, We Have Waged a War on Work: a title taken from Mike's thought provoking commentary. I am sure that most everyone agrees that "we have waged a war on work", but that the opinions for why vary. What cultural, social, and/or economic forces does the forum participants feel are the reasons for this sentiment against work? This may explain why a skills shortage exists.

]]> Comment on Wind Energy by Justin http://www.skilledtrades.com/wind-energy/#comment-20 Justin Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:16:01 +0000 http://www.skilledtrades.com/wind-energy/#comment-20 Great article, I must make one point though. With an emerging field growing as rapidly as the green industry is, I can't help but to consider a green bubble in the future. With federal stimulus funds and private investors pouring money into the industry, it would be wise to proceed with caution when looking to capitalize on this market. For comparison, think back to the early 90's when tech companies and the internet promised to change the world. Well, it did but not without a hiccup, hence the dot.com bubble. Tech companies grew faster than nature thought they should and the bubble reset the industry. Green tech has a bright future, but when planning for the future as an investor or business, plan carefully. Great article, I must make one point though.
