My name's Carter Wall, and I'm the director of the performance solar division for Broadway

of climate change and new technologies.
There is so much going on in the energy industry right now. It's just so exciting.
There's no substitute for passion. You can learn any kind of facts. You can learn any
kind of technical stuff. But you can't learn passion. You got to find something that you
want to do, and the rest of it is easy.
