Green Jobs: the great thing about working at 3Sun

2
00:00:03.440 --> 00:00:05.920 position:25% size:50%
Hi Giuseppe.

3
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:08.080 position:25% size:50%
Tell us a little about your job.

4
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.880 position:25% size:50%
I’ve been working at Enel for about two years now.

5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.040 position:25% size:50%
I design photovoltaic technologies.

6
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.000 position:25% size:50%
I have a degree in Materials Chemistry

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.800 position:25% size:50%
and a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences,

8
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:20.960 position:25% size:50%
but my focus has always been

9
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.800 position:25% size:50%
materials science.

10
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.000 position:25% size:50%
Ok.

11
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.560 position:25% size:50%
How would you describe your job

12
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:27.960 position:25% size:50%
to a six-year-old?

13
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.120 position:25% size:50%
I often have this conversation with my nephew Giuseppe,

14
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.800 position:25% size:50%
who is six.

15
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:36.720 position:25% size:50%
My job is finding new ways to harness the energy of the sun.

16
00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:39.240 position:25% size:50%
The idea is to produce more and more electricity

17
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.600 position:25% size:50%
using the same amount of materials.

18
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.080 position:25% size:50%
This allows us to have clean energy,

19
00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:46.360 position:25% size:50%
at an increasingly lower cost.

20
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:50.400 position:25% size:50%
What is it like to work for a company

21
00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:53.240 position:25% size:50%
that considers innovation so important?

22
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.280 position:25% size:50%
It’s basically a Google of renewable energy.

23
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.360 position:25% size:50%
Innovation is a key factor

24
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:00.480 position:25% size:50%
that allows us to make cleaner energy.

25
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.560 position:25% size:50%
Compared to the past,

26
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.240 position:25% size:50%
we have to design better technologies

27
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:07.560 position:25% size:50%
to leave the world in a better condition than we found it in.

28
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.720 position:25% size:50%
The fact that the company focuses so much

29
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:13.040 position:25% size:50%
on the value of sustainability feels great.

30
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.880 position:25% size:50%
It gives you the opportunity to have an idea,

31
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.280 position:25% size:50%
incubate it, conceive and transform it

32
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.320 position:25% size:50%
into something concrete that people

33
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:21.400 position:25% size:50%
can actually use to improve their lives.

34
00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.600 position:25% size:50%
And what do you like to do in your free time?

35
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:26.640 position:25% size:50%
My oldest passion

36
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.560 position:25% size:50%
is playing the electric guitar.

37
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.160 position:25% size:50%
I’ve been playing since I was 14,

38
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:31.680 position:25% size:50%
so it’s been 18 years now.

39
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.800 position:25% size:50%
I’ve spent more time playing than not, in my life.

40
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:37.160 position:25% size:50%
I bought my guitar when I was in high school,

41
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:39.720 position:25% size:50%
I took it with me to university,

42
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:40.640 position:25% size:50%
and to Germany.

43
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.240 position:25% size:50%
It came with me to Luxemburg.

44
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:44.840 position:25% size:50%
Now I’m back in Italy

45
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.920 position:25% size:50%
and it’s come home with me.

46
00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:49.200 position:25% size:50%
Wow, that’s quite a journey.

47
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.080 position:25% size:50%
What is your favorite song to play?

48
00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:53.440 position:25% size:50%
I’m a hard rock fan,

49
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:55.680 position:25% size:50%
so I really like Ozzy Osbourne.

50
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:57.680 position:25% size:50%
Or, when I’m in the mood, some

51
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:58.560 position:25% size:50%
Elio & Le Storie Tese songs

52
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.080 position:25% size:50%
like “Tapparella”.

53
00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:03.440 position:25% size:50%
[sings] “Porta pure ma non entri...”

54
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:04.800 position:25% size:50%
I love it!

55
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.880 position:25% size:50%
Let’s change the subject for a minute.

56
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:10.160 position:25% size:50%
Thinking about the future of the planet,

57
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.960 position:25% size:50%
are you more of an optimist or a pessimist?

58
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.600 position:25% size:50%
I’m very optimistic.

59
00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:16.480 position:25% size:50%
Enel is one of many companies

60
00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:19.040 position:25% size:50%
that have started to understand that sustainability,

61
00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:20.640 position:25% size:50%
renewable energy,

62
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:23.280 position:25% size:50%
is not just a cost, it’s a value

63
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.480 position:25% size:50%
an added value.

64
00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:25.520 position:25% size:50%
Being sustainable

65
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.760 position:25% size:50%
also means that your business is more sustainable.

66
00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:28.960 position:25% size:50%
Using renewable energy

67
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.720 position:25% size:50%
means that you know exactly how much

68
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:33.120 position:25% size:50%
electricity will cost you in the next twenty or thirty years.

69
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.080 position:25% size:50%
So your business becomes more financially stable.

70
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.160 position:25% size:50%
It’s not so much the technological developments

71
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:41.680 position:25% size:50%
as much as the fact that companies

72
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.480 position:25% size:50%
have developed an awareness of sustainability.

73
00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:47.320 position:25% size:50%
It makes me feel very, very optimistic.

74
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.280 position:25% size:50%
Interesting.

75
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.920 position:25% size:50%
What’s the best part about working at 3Sun?

76
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.760 position:25% size:50%
Working only a stone’s throw from Mount Etna:

77
00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:56.160 position:25% size:50%
it’s great to wake up in the morning

78
00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:57.920 position:25% size:50%
and see snow-capped Etna in the winter,

79
00:02:57.920 --> 00:02:58.920 position:25% size:50%
and the sea in the summer.

80
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:00.160 position:25% size:50%
So it’s a great satisfaction

81
00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.200 position:25% size:50%
in geographical terms: it’s beautiful.

82
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:04.040 position:25% size:50%
Personally, what makes me happiest is knowing

83
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:06.600 position:25% size:50%
we’re leaving the world cleaner than we found it.

84
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:09.800 position:25% size:50%
We’re doing the work that’s necessary

85
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.040 position:25% size:50%
to produce clean energy,

86
00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:12.280 position:25% size:50%
to avoid pollution,

87
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.120 position:25% size:50%
and to give our children and our grandchildren

88
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.760 position:25% size:50%
a cleaner environment

89
00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:18.160 position:25% size:50%
where they can live better.
