Wednesday, July 26
WORKER SPOTLIGHT (via CE4AEF’s #FacesofCleanEnergy program)
In honor of Fervo Energy’s recent big news, we’re spotlighting an employee of theirs this week. Leslie Maldonado works as a Completions Engineer at Fervo Energy and lives in Houston, Texas.
What did you do before entering clean energy? “Drilling Engineer in the oil and gas industry.”
Why should Congress invest in clean energy jobs, not fossil fuel jobs? “Increased investment in clean energy provides the green sector with the opportunity to further develop to its potential as well, especially in a time where there is a large drive to increase the use of clean energy. Investing in clean energy jobs would provide the opportunity for growth through the increased resource of personnel in the industry.”
