Renewable Energy Jobs?
I am studying to be a mechanical engineer and I have a specific interest in developing new forms of renewable energy in my pofessional carrer. Can you point me to any companies in which I would be working on a team to research and develop new methods of capturing renewable energy. I am interested in all forms of renewable energy from solar and wind to tidal and nuclear. Also, it is not too late for me to change my major, so if mechanical engineering is not the best, please recommend other majors that would be a good fit for me.
The Expert answers:
First, it’s not too late to change your major. Environmental engineering seems to be right down your alley man.
As for companies, most of them are overseas, honestly. The biggest one that comes to mind is General Electric. They’re a huge corporation that works on that kind of stuff. Look for an internship with a company like that

Daniel asks…
How much renewable energy can be created and how many jobs would be created with 700 billion dollars?
Apparently the government has 700 billion dollars it’s willing to wage on the banking industry. I was wondering what the environmental and economical impact would be if they invested this kind of money in renewable energies.
The Expert answers:
The impact would be astronomical. As it is I am trying to fill in the last couple pieces to start a renewable energy (electricity, heating, etc) plant in my state (a plant that would only create a vast number of jobs for people in my state). If the government dedicated that money to scientific research and development of renewable energy our lives and ability to be “green” should only improve. However, keep in mind that technically the government doesn’t have 700 B dollars, but are borrowing it from The Federal Reserve and further increasing our national debt. However, if the invested the money in researching and developing renewable energy resources, it would create a vast number of jobs and possibly help our economy as technology and methods we discover could also be sold to other countries looking to improve their environmental and economic impact. On a personal note, I feel that the government should hold the Bank Heads financially responsible for bailing out their own banks since it was their greed that got us into this situation in the first place. Anyway, I hope I answered your question!
Sandy asks…
Is there a website that is out there for renewable energy job postings that one doesn’t need to be an engineer?
I majored in political science but I would really like to get in the field.
The Expert answers:
I’m pretty sure that a lot of solar energy companies want people who can install solar panels. There are classes at some community colleges where you can learn the details of installation and maintenance. I think it would be smart to start a company that installs solar panels.
I’m sure there is much more out there as well, good luck on your search and thank you for wanting to help grow the “green market”, that makes me happy.
