Environmental Scientists
Companies employ environmental scientists to look
at how energy industry activities might affect
plants, animals, fish and birds before any
development can take place on land or under the
sea.
Renewable energy effectively uses natural
resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides,
crops and geothermal heat. All of which are
naturally replenished.
