Traditional Energy vs. Alternative Energy

It’s been mentioned that green and alternative energy, along with traditional energy such as gas and oil, will both be in demand in the next decade.  At first glance, it seems to be a paradox – why would both types of energy be in demand? The fact is, since 2009 the oil and gas industry has been focusing on the transparency and sustainability of the traditional energy industry.  In accordance with the Responsible Canadian Energy program, the oil and gas industry has been attempting to adopt more sustainable strategies to reduce their environmental impact.  They will be in need of new, younger employees to fill the positions of retirees, along with the increasing need for environmental studies graduates. That means new job opportunities within the industry.  Even if you are enthusiastic about green and alternative energy, the oil and gas industry still could be a great option. You could help develop new environmentally-friendly and sustainable methods that will reduce the natural impact of petroleum corporations.  Check out the following article, originally posted by Talent Egg, for a little more insight to how these two industries will coexist in the future.
