A clean energy transformation will create jobs. Many studies have found that clean energy creates more jobs than fossil fuel and nuclear energy. That said, fossil fuel and nuclear companies and power plants will certainly lay off workers as they go out of business or change technologies. But the good news is: a clean energy job should be awaiting many of them. Here’s on example:

Tim Rebhorn, First Solar’s new Senior Vice President, Project Development.

First Solar recently hired Tim Rebhorn to take over as Senior Vice President of Product Development. “Rebhorn has more than 30 years of experience in the power generation business as a senior executive in the gas, electricity, generation and distribution industry segments,” First Solar notes. “Most recently, he was CEO of Quail Nuclear Specialty Services, an industrial construction company primarily supporting the nuclear power industry. Previously, he was Managing Director of Resolutions Management, where he provided strategic support for clients in energy, steel, fuel cell, engineering and construction, petroleum and manufacturing industries. Earlier executive positions include Merrill Internationaland Stewart & Stevenson. He began his career in the U.S. Navy, where he served in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and as a NATO Staff Planning Officer.”
