Hi Trevo,
This is an excellent question. As initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions increase in the coming years, it is believed that occupations within the field of renewable energy will increase as well. According to the Bureau of labor statistics, job prospects for windmill technicians will increase by almost 96% over the next 10 years. States with the highest concentrations of windmill technicians currently are Texas, California, Illinois, and Iowa. These areas tend to have more windmills as well. I highly recommend taking a look at this map https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes499081.htm#st to give you a general idea of where job growth for windmill technicians could grow in the next 10 years. Best of luck!
