#2020 Ford F-150 Changes

[mariacallous]

For now, Alex Lagetko is holding on to his Tesla stocks. The founder of hedge fund VSO Capital Management in New York, Lagetko says his stake in the company was worth $46 million in November 2021, when shares in the electric carmaker peaked at $415. 

Since then, they have plunged 72 percent, as investors worry about waning demand, falling production and price cuts in China, labor shortages in Europe, and, of course, the long-term impact of CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. After announcing his plans to buy the platform in April, Musk financed his acquisition with $13 billion in loans and $33 billion in cash, roughly $23 billion of which was raised by selling shares in Tesla. 

“Many investors, particularly retail, who invested disproportionately large sums of their wealth largely on the basis of trust in Musk over many years were very quickly burned in the months following the acquisition,” Lagetko says, “particularly in December as he sold more stock, presumably to fund losses at Twitter.”

Lagetko is worried that the leveraged buyout of Twitter has left Tesla exposed, as interest payments on the debt Musk took on to fund the takeover come due at the same time as the social media company’s revenues have slumped.

But Tesla stock was already falling in April 2022, when Musk launched his bid for Twitter, and analysts say that the carmaker’s challenges run deeper than its exposure to the struggling social media platform. Tesla and its CEO have alienated its core customers while its limited designs and high prices make it vulnerable to competition from legacy automakers, who have rushed into the EV market with options that Musk’s company will struggle to match.

Prior to 2020, Tesla was essentially “playing against a B team in a soccer match,” says Matthias Schmidt, an independent analyst in Berlin who tracks electric car sales in Europe. But that changed in 2020, as “the opposition started rolling out some of their A squad players.”

In 2023, Tesla is due to release its long-awaited Cybertruck, a blocky, angular SUV first announced in 2019. It is the first new launch of a consumer vehicle by the company since 2020. A promised two-seater sports car is still years away, and the Models S, X, Y, and 3, once seen as space-age dynamos, are now “long in the tooth,” says Mark Barrott, an automotive analyst at consultancy Plante Moran. Most auto companies refresh their looks every three to five years—Tesla’s Model S is now more than 10 years old.

By contrast, this year Ford plans to boost production of both its F-150 Lighting EV pick-up, already sold out for 2023, and its Mustang Mach-E SUV. Offerings from Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6 could threaten Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 in the $45,000 to $65,000 range. General Motors plans to speed up production and cut costs for a range of EV models, including the Chevy Blazer EV, the Chevy Equinox, the Cadillac Lyric, and the GMC Sierra EV. 

While Tesla’s designs may be eye-catching, their high prices mean that they’re now often competing with luxury brands. 

“There is this kind of nice Bauhaus simplicity to Tesla’s design, but it’s not luxurious,” says David Welch, author of Charging Ahead: GM, Mary Barra, and the Reinvention of an American Icon. “And for people to pay $70,000 to $100,000 for a car, if you’re competing suddenly with an electric Mercedes or BMW, or a Cadillac that finally actually feels like something that should bear the Cadillac name, you’re going to give people something to think about.”

While few manufacturers can compete with Tesla on performance and software (the Tesla Model S goes to 60 mph in 1.99 seconds, reaches a 200-mph top speed, and boasts automatic lane changing and a 17-inch touchscreen for console-grade gaming), many have reached or are approaching a range of 300 miles (480 km), which is the most important consideration for many EV buyers, says Craig Lawrence, a partner and cofounder at the investment group Energy Transition Ventures.

One of Tesla’s main competitive advantages has been its supercharging network. With more than 40,000 proprietary DC fast chargers located on major thoroughfares near shopping centers, coffee shops, and gas stations, their global infrastructure is the largest in the world. Chargers are integrated with the cars’ Autobidder optimization & dispatch software, and, most importantly, they work quickly and reliably, giving a car up to 322 miles of range in 15 minutes. The network contributes to about 12 percent of Tesla sales globally.

“The single biggest hurdle for most people asking ‘Do I go EV or not,’ is how do I refuel it and where,” says Loren McDonald, CEO and lead analyst for the consultancy EVAdoption. “Tesla figured that out early on and made it half of the value proposition.”

But new requirements for funding under public charging infrastructure programs in the US may erode Tesla’s proprietary charging advantage. The US National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program will allocate $7.5 billion to fund the development of some 500,000 electric vehicle chargers, but to access funds to build new stations, Tesla will have to open up its network to competitors by including four CCC chargers.

“Unless Tesla opens up their network to different charging standards, they will not get any of that volume,” Barrott says. “And Tesla doesn’t like that.”

In a few years, the US public charging infrastructure may start to look more like Europe’s, where in many countries the Tesla Model 3 uses standard plugs, and Tesla has opened their Supercharging stations to non-Tesla vehicles. 

Tesla does maintain a software edge over competitors, which have looked to third-party technology like Apple’s CarPlay to fill the gap, says Alex Pischalnikov, an auto analyst and principal at the consulting firm Arthur D. Little. With over-the-air updates, Tesla can send new lines of code over cellular networks to resolve mechanical problems and safety features, update console entertainment options, and surprise drivers with new features, such as heated rear seats and the recently released full self-driving beta, available for $15,000. These software updates are also a cash machine for Tesla. But full self-driving features aren’t quite as promised, since drivers still have to remain in effective control of the vehicle, limiting the value of the system.

A Plante Moran analysis shared with WIRED shows Tesla’s share of the North American EV market declining from 70 percent in 2022 to just 31 percent by 2025, as total EV production grows from 777,000 to 2.87 million units.

In Europe, Tesla’s decline is already underway. Schmidt says data from the first 11 months of 2022 shows sales by volume of Volkswagen’s modular electric drive matrix (MEB) vehicles outpaced Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 by more than 20 percent. His projections show Tesla’s product lines finishing the year with 15 percent of the western European electric vehicle market, down from 33 percent in 2019.

The European Union has proposed legislation to reduce carbon emissions from new cars and vans by 100 percent by 2035, which is likely to bring more competition from European carmakers into the market. 

There is also a growing sense that Musk’s behavior since taking over Twitter has made a challenging situation for Tesla even worse.

Over the past year, Musk has used Twitter to call for the prosecution of former director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci (“My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci”), take swings at US senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders over government spending and inflation, and placed himself at the center of the free speech debate. He’s lashed out at critics, challenging, among other things, the size of their testicles. 

A November analysis of the top 100 global brands by the New York–based consultancy Interbrand estimated Tesla’s brand value in 2022 at $48 billion, up 32 percent from 2021 but well short of its 183 percent growth between 2020 and 2021. The report, based on qualitative data from 1,000 industry consultants and sentiment analysis of published sources, showed brand strength declining, particularly in “trust, distinctiveness and an understanding of the needs of their customers.”

“I think [Musk’s] core is rapidly moving away from him, and people are just starting to say, ‘I don’t like the smell of Tesla; I don’t want to be associated with that,’” says Daniel Binns, global chief growth officer at Interbrand.

Among them are once-loyal customers. Alan Saldich, a semi-retired tech CMO who lives in Idaho, put a deposit down on a Model S in 2011, before the cars were even on the road, after seeing a bodiless chassis in a Menlo Park showroom. His car, delivered in 2012, was number 2799, one of the first 3,000 made.

He benefited from the company’s good, if idiosyncratic, customer service. When, on Christmas morning 2012, the car wouldn’t start, he emailed Musk directly seeking a remedy. Musk responded just 24 minutes later: “...Will see if we can diagnose and fix remotely. Sorry about this. Hope you otherwise have a good Christmas.”

On New Year’s Day, Joost de Vries, then vice president of worldwide service at Tesla, and an assistant showed up at Saldich’s house with a trailer, loaded the car onto a flatbed, and hauled it to Tesla’s plant in Fremont, California, to be repaired. Saldich and his family later even got a tour of the factory. But since then, he’s cooled on the company. In 2019, he sold his Model S, and now drives a Mini Electric. He’s irritated in particular, he says, by Musk’s verbal attacks on government programs and regulation, particularly as Tesla has benefited from states and federal EV tax credits.

“Personally, I probably wouldn’t buy another Tesla,” he says. “A, because there’s so many alternatives and B, I just don’t like [Musk] anymore.”

No Static At All

I bought my first car in 1979. It was a two-door Toyota Corolla, and about as basic as it could be. With a four-on-the-floor (which is now a rarity!), a heater, defogger, and AM/FM radio, it got me where I needed to be. And like a lot of people back then, I bought an add-on cassette deck, and mounted it under the dash. Two speakers on the rear deck meant that I was riding in style.

Well, in my mind. I kept telling myself that.

Skip forward to the van I bought in 2020 during high COVID. I knew the rental car companies were in a world of hurt, and needed to sell off inventory to generate cash flow, which would be used to buy newer models. This meant fire sales across the country at their regional sales lots. I shopped online, and got a killer deal on a low-mileage 2019, and am still driving it.



I had owned it for a full year before I discovered there was a CD player hiding behind the LCD panel. I haven’t listened to CDs in years. I had signed up for SXM when I got the van, and that was all I ever listened to, ignoring AM/FM as relics of the past. And when I get bored with 150+ satellite stations, I sync my phone to the system, and tune in Spotify. I suspect I am no different from millions of other motorists.

All of which causes me to ponder how much music consumption has changed through the years. We have gone digital, streaming either from satellites or cellular services, and in a fairly short amount of time. Spotify did not arrive in the US until 2011, and the original XM Radio in 2008.

The only time I have even used the old-school radio was last summer while crossing western Canada. I intentionally flipped over to FM, because I wanted to experience the Canadian Content law, which stipulates that at least 35% of the songs played must have some Canadian origins, either writer, performer, or production.

But for all the growth of digital music, companies like Spotify are still swimming in red ink. My students who were with me in MKT6356 last semester remember a huge end-of-semester assignment that involved watching a Netflix series about Spotify and the struggles it faced when it was founded. Their latest earnings report shows that, while listeners (both the free and subscriber kinds) rose significantly, things are not all that rosy. The firm slashed six-percent of its global workforce, or 600 employees.

And get this: Their shares popped yesterday. I guess that a growing listener base trumps losses and layoffs.

Spotify points to its aggressive moves into podcasting as the source of its woes. They dropped some major cash for exclusive rights, including $200 million for the Joe Rogan Experience. And some of those podcasts have not exactly performed at expected levels. Spotify relies on ears (unlike eyeballs for most other media), and if people are not listening (which they can track quite well), then advertising revenues will sag. Investors are bullish, though, and still see future profit potential.

In a related move, Ford just announced it was going to eliminate the AM radio in its new F-150 EVs. I’m not sure how or why they chose this model. While that move probably doesn’t ruffle the feathers of many EV drivers (or most people in general), it did upset one rural radio station owner who contends that farmers and other country folk need their AM radio to be able to get the latest wheat and cattle futures. That’s something you can’t do on FM, SXM, or Spotify.



I’ll let those people iron out that one, but for a guy who only used his broadcast radio for a few days in the last 2 1/2 years, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. I’ve got too many choices as it stands on my SXM and Spotify. I keep sending my money to both, and were even just one of them to go away, my drives would be a lot quieter. 



Kind of like in that ’79 Corolla whenever I drove out of signal range, and the cassette got stuck in the player. Oh, the humanity.

New Post has been published on All about business online

New Post has been published on http://yaroreviews.info/2021/06/ev-startups-are-in-trouble-investors-dont-care

EV Startups Are in Trouble. Investors Don't Care.

Lordstown Motors Corp. RIDE 3.30% , an electric-truck startup, is off to a bumpy start as a public company. In the past month, it said it missed its targets on costs and production, acknowledged it overstated preorders, told investors it didn’t have enough money to start full production and parted with its CEO and CFO.

Yet the company’s investors are rather unfazed: Lordstown’s share price is roughly the same as in mid-May.

The stocks of numerous recently listed electric-vehicle companies are showing remarkable resilience in the face of significant turmoil at their businesses. Lordstown, semi-truck maker Nikola Corp. NKLA -2.94% and electric-car maker Canoo Inc. GOEV 0.40% all have share prices that are in line with, or above, the prices from when they struck deals to go public by merging with special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, last year.

Nikola has a market capitalization of $6.5 billion, up more than 60% since it struck its deal to list last year. Months later, the company’s executive chairman resigned after a short seller accused the company of misrepresenting its technology. The company, which denied allegations of fraud, then scuttled multiple new types of vehicles it previously advertised as key to its business, and a partnership with General Motors Co. largely fell apart.

Canoo announced this spring it dropped numerous aspects of its business plan that it sold to investors months earlier, and its CEO, CFO and co-founder all left the company. It has a roughly $2.4 billion market capitalization, unchanged from when it struck the deal to list publicly. None of the three companies have begun commercial production of vehicles.

Helping explain the seemingly unshakable shares is the flood of amateur investors who bet on stocks of new car makers that went public through SPACs in the past year, analysts and observers of the sector say. Motivated by the promise of fast growth and optimism about an electric vehicle-filled future, these individual investors helped push the shares of numerous new companies in the sector to historically lofty valuations by traditional auto maker standards.

It is unclear exactly how much of the electric vehicle companies’ trading is affected by amateur investors versus hedge funds and Wall Street institutions, which also own some of the stocks. Some traders have placed bets that companies in this sector will drop in value.

The resilience of these stocks has befuddled many watching the industry.

“Normal fundamental and economic analysis would lead you to a pretty dire outcome” for some of the companies, said Jon Lopez, an analyst who covers the new-electric vehicle companies for Vertical Group. But the financial world is awash with money and starved for investments that grow quickly, he said, leading to strange outcomes like this year’s Reddit-fueled rise of so-called “meme stocks” that were boosted by investors who posted calls to send shares of certain companies “to the moon.”

The dynamics at play are similar to Telsa Inc., the electric-vehicle company run by Elon Musk that has more than quintupled in value since early last year to become the world’s most valuable auto maker, said Bradford Cornell, a professor emeritus at University of California Los Angeles’ business school. Tesla’s share price often goes up for little clear reason, while negative events often have little or no impact. Investors are more focused on a future narrative of extraordinary growth than the present day-to-day, he said.

“Is the narrative still believable? If it is, there’s no reason why it can’t go up,” he said of these companies’ stocks.

Lordstown, Nikola and Canoo each have expressed optimism about their businesses, saying they are pointed in the right direction after recent turbulence. Executives at all three have highlighted significant progress even amid their struggles—a development that seems to have tided over investors.

Lordstown executives said this week they are still on track to start producing some pickup trucks this fall, and demand appears to be strong. The company is in the process of seeking new funding. Nikola has said it is on track to deliver its first electric trucks later this year, and recently struck a deal to raise another $300 million.

Numerous companies in the electric-vehicle industry are “trying to get through SPAC puberty,” said Tony Aquila, Canoo’s chief executive and chairman. After joining the board last year, Mr. Aquila scrapped multiple aspects of Canoo’s business plan, including a plan to rent most customers cars month by month—changes he said he made to bring Canoo’s business in line with what’s achievable. He said he wants to Canoo “underpromise and overdeliver.”

The stocks of Lordstown, Nikola and Canoo are down significantly from their highs, although the same is true for the shares of other electric-vehicle makers, as the market for high-risk stocks has cooled since a burst of enthusiasm late last year. The stocks of the three electric-vehicle makers also haven’t been immune to bad news, but the dips on concerning revelations were less than many analysts expected, and the share prices often recovered many of their losses.

The buoyant environment helped allow a burst of electric-vehicle startups to collectively raise billions of dollars with ease in the past year through mergers with SPACs. They quickly became appealing for early stage startups in hot sectors like electric vehicles; SPACs allow startups to freely talk about their future projections and plans, unlike a more heavily regulated initial public offering.

Lordstown was a prime beneficiary. In its investor presentation from last summer, it highlighted how it would make an electric pickup that would be far less costly than a gas-powered Ford F-150. There was already strong demand from a long list of customers who preordered the truck, the company said, and production would take relatively little investment because the plant Lordstown got from General Motors wouldn’t need much renovation.

Those plans have unraveled.

Share Your Thoughts

What’s your outlook on electric vehicle companies like Lordstown Motors? Join the conversation below.

Costs of outfitting the plant—which was previously used to build a gas-powered sedan—proved far higher than expected. Ford announced an electric F-150 that was priced more than 20 percent lower than Lordstown’s truck. The company acknowledged some preorders were made by prospective buyers who didn’t appear to have the resources to buy the trucks, and said it received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the issue. Plant costs soared while full-scale production was delayed.

Peter Di Pasquale, a 30-year-old engineer from Pasadena, Calif., first invested in Lordstown in April after reading about it online, believing it would be able to produce a solid truck. He said he’s aware the company has significant risks, and the management tumult in the past week was concerning. Still, the company is nearing production of its pickup, giving it a leg up on other manufacturers that are months or years behind.

“The factory is real,” he said. “The workers are real.”

“I’m cautiously optimistic.”

The Electric Future of Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks have been around for almost 100 years now, and have since become an ubiquitous vehicle type for hauling, towing, transporting and off-roading. They are generally built tough, are powerful, have spacious cabins, and offer lots of room for storage. But historically speaking, pickups have not presented impressive fuel economy numbers. With rising concerns of climate change and pollution, where does this leave pickup trucks? A pickup needs to have the power and torque necessary to function as a workhorse. Typically this need is met with an internal combustion engine, usually a V6 or V8. Internal combustion engines are practical for all vehicle and driver types, being able to provide either high fuel economy or high horsepower output, depending on how it’s built and tuned. You usually don’t see both aspects in one engine, though. While a relative balance between efficiency and power can be achieved, if you go far into one route, you are usually sacrificing the other. Hybrid systems can present a workaround solution to the issue of fuel efficiency for pickup trucks, but with all the current awareness of our carbon footprint, switching to full electric is the next logical step.

I believe it is safe to say that the future of automobiles is electric. Electric cars have proven themselves better than gas-power in a number of key categories, such as efficiency/range, maintenance costs and performance. Tesla has been the major player in the electric car world for a while now, breaking many barriers and setting new standards. The company has shown to the world that a vehicle can be both highly efficient and provide mind-boggling performance. Sounds like the perfect solution for pickup trucks.

A number of car companies have announced plans for electric pickups, and some have already developed pre-production models. Let’s take a peek into the new and bizarre world of electric pickup trucks, and compare three different models from three distinct brands to the current best selling pickup in the US, the famed Ford F-150.

Tesla Cybertruck

The first of its kind, the Tesla Cybertruck is an electric pickup with an unconventionally sharp and angular design, giving it a one-of-a-kind sci-fi movie look. Its electric power provides extreme efficiency and performance all in one package.

Rivian R1T

Rivian is an electric car manufacturer and competitor to Tesla, with its own electric pickup truck on offer. The R1T features a more conventional exterior design in comparison to the Cybertruck, but one that is futuristic nonetheless, particularly thanks to its full light-bar headlight and taillight setup.

GMC Hummer EV

After a decade since the original Hummer brand went out of business, Hummer is back. This time around it's electric and a model within the GMC brand, rather than a brand of its own (both Hummer and GMC are owned by General Motors). Its looks are unmistakably Hummer, with what is essentially a modern rendition of the original Hummer design of the 2000's.

In comparison: Ford F-150 Raptor

2020 Ford F-150 Raptor

The current best-selling pickup truck, and automobile, in the US is the Ford F-series. The F-series includes a wide variety of trims and configurations, from more “light duty” models like the F-150, to more “heavy duty” models like the F-450. The best selling within the lineup is the F-150. Since all specifications of the aforementioned electric pickups will be from top trim models, we will use a top trim F-150 for comparison. The two highest trims are the Limited and the Raptor. We will benchmark against the F-150 Raptor, as its more performance-focused nature matches closer with its electric siblings.

Vehicle Specifications

Taking all these different offerings into one big picture, we can see that electric pickup trucks are an attractive alternative to industry-standard gas-guzzlers. Two of the electric pickups presented (no info yet for Hummer EV) have higher towing and payload capacity than the Raptor. Horsepower and torque numbers are significantly higher for two of the electrics as well (no info yet for Tesla Cybertruck). And finally, acceleration is much quicker for all three of the electrics. Range, on the other hand, is surprisingly relatively equivalent between the electrics and the Raptor, with the Raptor actually coming out on top when equipped with an optional 36 gallon tank (576 miles of range). But, this comparison is not 1:1, because of unequally matched horsepower and torque between the different models. Taking all the numbers here at face-value for the purposes of this comparison, we can see that while the maximum range of the 36-gallon Raptor may be greater, it only makes about 60% of the power and torque of the Rivian R1T. If the Raptor made the same level of power and torque (an approximate 40% gain), its 30% advantage in range would likely be negated. Thus, electric power likely provides greater range than gas, even if this cannot immediately be seen in the numbers presented, due to the disproportionately higher horsepower and torque of the electrics.

Note: While the closest comparison to the Raptor is the Cybertruck in terms of range, since Tesla has not yet released information regarding horsepower and torque, the next closest match-up is the Rivian R1T.

Conclusion

Throughout the past decade, electric power has proven itself capable of providing two extremes at once: high efficiency and high performance. While mass adaptation of electric vehicles is a gradual process that will inevitably take a number of more years or even decades, the technology has already demonstrated that it can provide for a wide variety of vehicle and driver needs, whether it be efficiency, performance or ease of use.

But the technology still has areas to grow and develop. The first thing that comes to mind is charging time. Charging up an electric vehicle is nowhere near as quick as filling up with gas. Even if you can charge an electric car at home, for mass adaptation of electric vehicles to happen, charging would have to evolve to be quick and convenient, so that one can charge their car on the go if needed. Hopefully the technology will develop to the point where it will only take a few minutes to charge a full battery, just like a quick stop at the gas station.

But even considering this, electric vehicles have already presented themselves favorably. Efficiency and performance can now be one in the same. With rising concerns of climate change, electric cars in general, and electric pickup trucks in specific, are likely to be the future.

1964 Ford F100

1964 Ford F100 (4th Generation) Ford introduced a dramatically new style of pickup in 1961 with the fourth-generation F-Series. Longer and lower than its predecessors, these trucks had increased dimensions and new engine and gearbox choices. Additionally, the 1961–1963 models offered an optional unibody design with the cab and bed integrated. The traditional separate cab/bed was offered concurrently. The unibody proved unpopular, and Ford discontinued the option after the 1963 model year. In 1965, the F-Series was given a significant midcycle redesign. A completely new platform, including the "Twin I-Beam" front suspension, was introduced, and continued to be used until 1996 on the F-150 and until 2016 on the F-250/350 4x2. Additionally, the Ranger name made its first appearance in 1965 on a Ford pickup; previously, the Ranger denoted a base model of the Edsel, but starting in 1965, it was used to denote a high-level styling package for F-Series pickups. ✅ Subscribe to Our Channel for More Cars, Tips & Resources: https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoGuysandaRide/ ✅ Stay Connected 👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/GuysRide 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twoguysandaride/ 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twoguysandaride ============================= ✅ SEE all of our HOW TO videos here: CarTechHowTo.com - http://bit.ly/2ZvDrbE ✅ Our Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoGuysandaRide/playlists ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 🚘 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series III - CarTech How To https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO5Q1upM2CY 🚘 2019 Ford Escape Titanium- CarTech Infotainment How To https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIE9n3Q0Q2M 🚘 Excel Power Bikes - Electric Bicycles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F53cHrmG0vo 🚘 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid - CarTech Infotainment How To https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGXVyzB0B3E ============================= ✅ About Two Guys and a Ride: Two Guys and a Ride’s channel is dedicated to all things automotive.

The Future Looks Bright for Environmental Professionals

The Future Looks Bright for Environmental Professionals

The Future Looks Bright for Environmental Professionals

The 2015 Paris Agreement marked a milestone in the cooperation of governments around the world to solve the issue of climate change. However, in 2019, climate scientists and experts issued a dire warning: the only way to save the planet was to take decisive action and cut global carbon emissions by half in the coming years, before the damage becomes irreversible. Since then, major companies have stepped up. In January 2020, Microsoft made a pledge to become carbon-negative by 2030, following on the heels of Amazon and other corporations striving to cut their carbon footprint. This all means that environmental professionals will become increasingly important, and these jobs will see growth in the coming years. Fastest Growing Green Jobs According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, environmental scientists and specialists are set to be in high demand, experiencing an 8% job growth in the next decade —higher than the average job growth across the market. Environmental engineering jobs are expected to grow by 5%. Other fast-growing green jobs include service technicians and conservation scientists. These jobs are all essential in curbing climate change, whether through renewable energy, environmental conservation, or cleanup. Thus, the current pressure on companies and governments to reduce carbon emissions will spur job-growth in these fields. Renewable Energy is on the Rise Since 2008, the United States has doubled its electricity generation of renewable energy. In 2018, renewables provided around 18% of all electricity generated in the US, with about 90% coming from wind and solar power. Battery storage is becoming easier and solar panels are becoming cheaper to produce. In the energy sector, wind and solar approaches seem well-poised to continue their rise. While other energy sources, particularly oil, saw dramatic declines during the COVID-19 pandemic, renewable energies fared surprisingly well and even saw growth during this period. As wind and solar power continues to expand, new jobs to build, install, and maintain this infrastructure will be in high demand. The Buzz Around Electric Cars Silicon Valley upstart Tesla made the news in 2018 when it outpaced luxury car-maker Mercedes-Benz in quarterly car sales for the first time ever. This signals both an acceleration in Tesla's growth, and the growth of electric car sales around the world. Mechanical, electrical, and software engineers will experience job growth as more car makers transition to low and zero-emissions vehicles, like Ford's new F-150 electric pickup truck. Researchers such as chemists and industrial designers who develop high-capacity batteries and electric engines, as well as service technicians and manufacturers, will be in high demand as electric car production increases. Carbon Capture is the Future Many scientists agree that at this point, cutting down emissions to zero isn't enough. We also need to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. This is where carbon capture comes in. This technology is at the center of research and development all over the world, and has incredible potential both as a way to save the planet and to create a profitable industry. Growth in carbon capture and sequestration methods and technology could lead to new jobs for environmental professionals —though we'll have to wait and see. Whatever your preferred field is, as an environmental professional you have chosen to save the world. It's abundantly clear that right now the world needs you more than ever. And with the rise in jobs, industries, and technologies, you'll have many opportunities to make a dent in the climate crisis.
