Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

We made buildturbines.com to help people join the wind industry! In the news, Siemens Gamesa has received certification for their 15 megawatt SG14 236DD offshore wind turbine, 63 of which will be used offshore in the German Baltic Sea. They are also expanding a blade facility in Aalborg, Denmark. We discuss Bill Gates' TerraPower nuclear project in Wyoming, moving to a discussion about where nuclear energy is a good solution. Then we move to the legal battle between EDP Renewables and the state of Wisconsin over restrictive local wind ordinances. And we highlight Canvus, a company that is recycling wind turbine blades into furniture and art. The Wind Farm of the Week is DTE's Meridian Wind Park in Michigan!

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Allen Hall: Joel, we built a new website. buildturbines.com. Joel Saxum: And it looks fantastic. I'm here to tell you. Allen Hall: And this website is devoted to those future technicians, people that are looking to get a job in wind and don't know where to start. Joel Saxum: I mean, the idea really comes from this, Allen. We've talked to so many people out in the field through our websites, through the podcast all over the places in the wind industry and around the wind industry. Of, Hey, how do I get in? How do I get one of these jobs? And, the wind industry scrambling, every recruiting department is saying to their company, Hey, everybody, here's a recruiter. We need as many people as possible. Where can you find this? Do you have a friend here? Can we get some people here to the point where the DOE has put out a study? Through NREL as well. That's there says we need over a hundred thousand, close to 125, 000 wind turbine technicians by 2030. It's the fastest growing job in America. Allen Hall: Yeah, and if you visit some of the training facilities, particularly the community colleges, they cannot get enough students to keep those programs alive. So we're at a real impasse at the moment. We need to be reaching out to those future technicians and the future engineers that will be helping keeping these wind farms up and running. And that's why we started build turbines. com. Joel Saxum: Yeah. The idea is we're going to put a bunch of information on your articles about being a wind turbine technician. We have some of this stuff. We talk to these people every day, right? Why not share this information on another platform? So what's, what we're going to put forth the qualifications that you need for certain types of jobs, what the salaries look like, what the outcomes could possibly be for a career. And we want to get this website and this information. We're going to continue to build on it. So we'll ask everybody from the industry. If you're a training center, if you're an ISP, if you're a utility, if you're anybody in the wind industry looking for technicians or want to have some words into, hey, this is what the language we'd like to put in. These are the things we'd like to use to attract people. Get ahold of us. We'll want to put it on this website because we'd like to get this thing in front of everybody high schools and. Young people everywhere mid career, people transitioning anywhere. That's a great opportunity for a fantastic career. That's only going to grow. So we need these people. So let's do a roundup everybody and do our part to get as many technicians out there as we can.
