Energy Education: The Antidote to Climate Doom

The piece argues that youth pessimism about the climate is driven in part by a gap in energy-focused teaching: teachers spend little time on climate and energy, students rely on social media for information, and many lack basic energy literacy. It notes rising electricity demand and strong job opportunities in energy and nuclear sectors, advocating for structured energy education through programs like Generation Atomic and Blue Energy Nation to counter doomism and better prepare students for a changing labor market.
