CEOs have warned that AI will wipe out white-collar and entry-level jobs, but demand for the tools is already creating new opportunities. America’s energy sector is thriving during the world’s latest tech transformation—but there aren’t enough workers to meet the demand. 

The U.S. power and grid value chain will need around 500,000 additional workers by 2030, according to a recent report from Goldman Sachs. And seeing as these roles often require three to four years of training, it creates a years-long skilling obstacle in training up a workforce to meet growing demands.
