Imagine you've just built the most advanced state-of-the-art electric vehicle in the world.
It's sitting in your driveway, polished, fully charged, and ready to break speed records.
But there is one major catch: nobody in your town knows how to drive it, let alone fix it if something goes wrong.
We are designing the infrastructure of the future, but we are rapidly running out of the minds and hands needed to actually plug it all in.
We spend so much time debating the technology, the efficiency of solar panels, the chemistry of lithium-ion batteries, the promise of small modular nuclear reactors, and the sheer computational power of artificial intelligence.
The reality is that the transition to clean energy and the digital revolution are colliding in a very unexpected place, the job market.
