I am an aircraft technician, am currently looking to get into the wind turbine technician field. I’ve applied to every company i can find. All I get back is a thank you for applying, if I get any reply at all. I’m hoping my skills can transfer to the wind turbine field, what am I doing wrong? Is there a test and who gives the test for a wind technician? Also if I need training, whats the cost? Thank you, Bill.

I have looked into this program as a potential career direction. I may still go into it, but as a persons only college education, it is a construction job. What happens when you get hurt/older? You have to be able to climb 200ft and carry 60 lbs.

It’s great to see that someone can now study alternative energy, but $30,000 to $35,000 salary would have been good 10-15 years ago.

This is a good sign of things to come. Companies like GE and Trinity need to step up investment in these programs.

Great Post!

I need to know how to build a lawnmower wind turbine to generate electricity so it can power a light bulb for a science fair project. I am a freshmen at katahdin high school.
