What field of engineering would be most beneficial.... I was thinking Electrical or Environmental Engineering.... Any suggestions?

With the huge incentive from the United State Govt. they should be jumping for joy as more money role their way. It is not too late to join with your money and 'technical know how' It is now April of 2009, many that followed their guts and invested in renewable energy are now reaping a big profit.

It seems that now that they've conquered the net, they want to move to even more lucrative business opportunities. Google is reknown for making things better for the public - so... Perhaps in a few years Google will be our green power supplier of choice :) What a great inititaive set by Google!

Why can't world attention shift from a focal point like war to something more productive like our earth and the air we breath? It's frustrating to know just how easy it would be for all the powerful decision makers in the world to come together and actually make a change that benefits everyone. Oil is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, and because the demand for energy will always exist, all of the key players in this industry could simply reinvest a 1/3 of their profits back into building sustainable energy farms, and gradually shift their profit sources to much cleaner ones, as the demand for energy will stay the same, their is no reason the source cannot change.
