We Took the Risk dives into the personal journeys of 25 executives who, through their own combination of traits, took on the challenges of an early US renewable energy industry. Far from being a self-improvement book or a glorified “who’s who” run down, this book provides a backdrop by which to juxtaposition your own career journey. Author Tom Weirich lets you view the beginnings of the industry as if you were there, lock in step with these entrepreneurial leaders, as they sift through decisions that would forever impact the trajectory of renewables in the US.

Essential listening for clean energy career paths
Revisado: 11-06-23
Fearlessness. Grit. Innovation. Adaptability. Determination. Whether you're a longtime renewable energy professional or just entering the dynamic industry, Tom Weirich's "We Took the Risk" is an essential read/listen. The audiobook brings the listener/reader even closer to the storyteller's compelling lens and insights. It connects you with the people who laid the foundation and persevered through boom-and-bust cycles to take the (oak tree!) seed of an idea and grow it into a major force in our global economy that renewables have become today. At a time when the climate crisis is hitting home for most people across most regions worldwide, "We Took the Risk" is much more than a historic look at what and who created the clean energy industry; it's a how-to guide for anyone who refuses to accept problems and wants to be part of advancing real-world solutions shaping a sustainable future on Earth today. By detailing the character traits and facts of the renewable energy story with great logic, intelligence and personal connection, this audiobook reinforces reasons for hope and optimism. Takeaways that resonated include perspective on the powerful role strong mentorship played for the author in formative years, a reminder to anyone in a position to elevate and empower new generations to succeed. Also fascinating is Weirich’s perspective on how political corruption and an uneven playing field for renewables must be addressed and resolved to deploy proven clean energy solutions at the scale and speed needed to succeed for our planet's preservation and people's security. As someone who had a wonderful introduction to renewable industries as a young professional - thanks to a great mentor and community - but left for a few years in other sciences, "We Took the Risk" beautifully captures why I returned to renewables. The people, their mindsets, mission and impact are incomparable. Who wouldn't want to be part of it? I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone seeking inspiration or aiming to energize their thinking, doing and impact.
