You’re not mentioning Blue Collar non green , manufacturing jobs.
You’re also very heavy Green despite its setting sun of subsidies and flagging winds of hype here in America.
Even if Green isn’t withering to Brown* where come these machines to repair?
Might want to have a look at additive manufacturing as well , aka 3D printing. Here too AI comes into its own, really its greatest promise is with machines.
*Brown energy carries Green in subsidies and manufacturing.
Moreover when REE mining returns to America what is already quite known from China - that every ton of REE generates 2000 tons of toxins, including radioactive waste of thorium or uranium. Even Harvard had to explain “it’s complicated.”
Thanks for the comment! You’re right — I focused heavily on green energy in Part 1, which may have missed the broader scope of blue-collar jobs.
As the comment suggests, non-green jobs still play a huge role in our economy, especially with manufacturing, logistics, and construction — these industries are evolving with or without the green shift. It’s important to note that additive manufacturing (3D printing) and automation are increasingly a part of these sectors as well. AI’s role here can’t be overstated, especially as we look toward how AI can assist with machine repair, manufacturing precision, and materials management.
For those interested in non-green but still-evolving blue-collar jobs, I’ll be diving deeper into sectors like advanced manufacturing, robotic repair, and AI-driven logistics in Part 3. I’ll also touch on how these jobs remain in-demand and how technology (including AI) plays an increasingly important role in keeping them viable.
Also, I appreciate the link you shared! It’s a great reminder that even the green technologies we talk about (like rare earth elements mining) have their own set of challenges. It’s definitely a nuanced topic, and as you mentioned, “it’s complicated.”
Thanks again for bringing up such a vital point — I’ll definitely be expanding on this.
