Renewable Energy expected to grow at 7.5 per cent annually

Britain is committed to getting 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.

Key drivers for the renewable energy sector growth are the declining oil reserves, global warming issues, energy security risk due to sensitive geopolitical stability and the increasing demand with growth of population according to a leading international strategy consultancy.
Renewables are the fastest-growing source of world energy.  These include:
Wind farms (Onshore & Offshore)
Wave Power
Hydroelectric Power
Photo-voltaic (Solar) Power
Solar Thermal (Solar Concentrator) Power
Thermal Wellhead Energy (Energy form the earth’s core)
Wood Biomass Plants
With consumption increasing by 3.0 percent per year., renewable energy is anticipated to grow to become the dominant  energy source for world electricity generation by 2020.
Already 14 per cent of global energy supply is accounted for by renewables.  Longer term (from 2012 to 2020), alternative energy supply is expected to grow at 7.5 per cent annually.
Meeting this demand will mean the need for greater investment in development projects over the coming years, and expertise required to deal with the various CAR and EAR aspects of the contracts.

Engineers obsessed with wearing hardhats and pointing at things survey finds

Engineers have got a lot of College, but are pre-occupied with wearing hardhats and pointing at things a new survey has found.

Hardhat etiquette is such a preoccupation for professionals in this sector that you will often see professional engineers wearing a dome hardhat with a tiny duckbill brim even whilst on nights out with friends when they are nowhere near their place of work.

They are also pre-occupied with ridiculously large sheets of paper and pointing at things which can lead to an RSI affliction known as engineers arm (not related to engineers wrist which is a common affliction among techies who can’t get a girlfriend).

Sadly they think they are cool whilst everyone else in the world thinks they are muppets.
