ABOUT THIS VIDEO  



Action heroes may one day be based on solar energy technicians like Luke Spangenburg. Thanks to the Santa Fe Community College’s Solar Energy Certificate program, Luke will be scaling walls and climbing onto rooftops to bring clean, renewable energy to American homes and businesses everywhere. He is already well on his way to gaining the skills required to join this rapidly expanding green job sector. In 2009, the solar industry supported 17,000 new jobs in the United States. Now that’s a lot of heroes!
