Tehachapi, CA, May 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- According to a new U.S. Department of Energy (US DoE) report, one of the challenges in reaching 20% renewable energy in the US will be the demand for skilled wind professionals. The American Wind Energy Association reported that the US market wind capacity expanded by approximately 45% or 5200MW in 2007. This type of growth helped to expand the industry's workforce by nearly 900 service technicians. To help meet the US DoE's goal of 20% renewable by the year 2030, the wind industry will need to provide close to 5000 technicians per year in the coming years.
