survival. Dealing with climate change
may require new technologies and
techniques, with the potential of
green energy being at the forefront
of this development. Some interesting
careers in this field could be:

Renewable energy
According to the Institute of
Mechanical Engineers, we have
enough oil to last us for just 40

That’s why alternative fuels and
energy sources like solar, wind, tidal,
hydrogen, and even nuclear may
need to be considered. Some cool
jobs in this field are:

This technician will produce
hydrogen on site, which will
require science as well as
retail skills.
