RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL

Transcription

1 18 RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL The Natural Resources Defense Council offers data concerning renewable energy potential by state & county at Its interactive tool allows a user to measure a state or region s renewable energy potential in the areas of wind, solar, cellulosic biomass, or biogas. Although the Southwest region possesses modest potential in wind & solar, the potential for renewable energy production in cellulosic biomass & biomass is high this indicates possible opportunities for increased employment in these areas in the future.

6 The following tables display green jobs* data, including jobs from 2010 to 2015, annual openings, the education level or amount of experience required, & the median hourly wage. The numbers on completions by institution within the tables are program completions tied to a particular occupation as such many of the programs correspond to multiple occupations. The 1 st figure displayed within each section displays this information Completions by Occupation by Institution. Subsequent figures provide information by CIP code Completions by CIP Code by Institution unlike completions by occupation, these numbers are not redundant. Tabulated data by CIP code is available in this document s sister Excel file. Schools are color coded by state as follows: NW Arkansas / SW Missouri / SE Kansas / NE Oklahoma Following the figures are ONET-CIP crosswalks mapping each sector s jobs to specific programs the region s top programs are displayed in bold. *The jobs in the following sections are of six-digit SOC classification corresponding to the O*NET-SOC taxonomy (up to 8 digit).
