‘Energy Transition’ (Greenwash) Specialist Opening: Apply Below

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- December 22, 2020

“The Associate Director will be responsible for managing cross energy sector consulting projects with a focus on Energy Transition relevant topics.”

I recently saw this position advertisement on Linkedin from Daniel Yergin’s Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA, purchased by IHS Markit in 2004). Posted last week, the company has had nearly 100 applicants so far.

The full posting is reprinted below as a ‘current’ on the energy mixed economy and in regard to political correctness. I hope it comes to be seen as a low point when imaging was at war with energy fundamentals and, employment practices-wise, general decency.
