Just saw one in the back country in Finland. Really deep in the sticks and on a small road. Was a great moment seeing it there. The electric revolution is coming along and unstoppably. Now would be a great time to get a career going in electrification. Electric installation / Solar power installation you name it, the demand will skyrocket.

Solar power installation you name it, the demand will skyrocket.

I work tangentially to that field and the problem is that the competition is fierce. Every old roofing company is now a solar installation company and a new solar panel company (reselling the same Chinese panels with thinner and thinner margins) is popping up every week. The only place I can see any margins is specializing in designing and setting up large industrial scale setups.

They go bankrupt left and right, just like solar manufacturers, because it's a race to the bottom. Race to bankruptcy it almost seems. I think it's a horrible market to be in right now.
