As someone who works in the energy field, I have been stoked to see these types of advancements in the past few years. When I first got into this field and would research green energy products, there was a limited field of players. Now there are so many start ups coming up with brilliant products that I can't even keep track! What a wonderful problem to have.

One of my favorite books is "The Wizard and the Prophet", and it's great to see more and more companies following in Norman Borlaug's footsteps and finding new ways the science/tech fields can serve humanity.

If anyone out there is feeling a bit down about the general state of the tech industry, I highly encourage you to look into jobs in the green energy field. It's an exciting space filled with lots of passionate, mission-driven folks. (And, in case you're wondering, most of us aren't the neurotic, perpetually angry types that dominate the activist space. We're pretty chill people who just want a healthy and affordable planet.)

I’d second this - I’m not in green energy, but I am in a field that looks to have a substantially positive climate/environmental impact. If you’re feeling particularly existential about the world right now, there’s a real sense of relief from knowing your work is aligned with your values and where you want the world to go.

i'd love to have your optimism. whenever i looked at the job market in this area ("green" tech) most, if not all, of what i found was around carbon offsetting, which is something that has failed to convince me so far

There are so many things this world needs smart people doing. A slowdown in the tech sector might just be the catalyst.

I'd love to know as well, especially for software engineers. I'm wondering if there are opportunities in this field for distributed systems experts, but not a necessity.
