278- America's Forgotten Heroes: The Trade Workers Building Our Future With Jeremiah Jancik

The skilled trades that build and maintain our technological infrastructure are criminally undervalued in our society despite being essential to modern life and our clean energy future.

• Jeremiah Jancik shares his extensive experience in electrical work, solar panel installation, HVAC, and energy efficiency auditing
• Trade careers offer excellent pay, job security, and the satisfaction of tangible, meaningful work
• Energy efficiency audits reveal how homes can be improved through better insulation, efficient HVAC, and identifying air leaks
• Heat pump technology represents the future of home heating and cooling, requiring skilled tradespeople to install
• Community colleges offer affordable, practical education paths to well-paying careers in the trades
• The shortage of skilled tradespeople is slowing America's transition to cleaner energy systems
• Government policies like the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 have created opportunities in clean energy installation
• Working in the trades provides immediate visible results and the satisfaction of improving people's homes

Trade schools deserve equal recognition alongside college education as valuable career paths. Check out Jeremiah's book "After Oil 2047" and visit his website at jeremiahjancik.com to learn more about his work in energy efficiency.
