More College Students Studying Clean Energy

I read a very encouraging article that shows that all the efforts to help make people aware of global warming is really paying off. For the greater concern for global warming by college students and their new want to take new courses in alternative energy stemmed from the greater awareness has led universities to add new courses on the environment and the technologies of clean energy.

The very prestigious University of California at Berkelely has had their introductory courses on energy almost triple, as well as a new graduate class formed. A professor there, Dan Kammen, claims that

Students see an opportunity for challenging jobs and a way to do some good for the planet.

At the prestigious school of Stanford as well, the Petroleum Engineering Department has renamed itself the Energy Resources Engineering Department, and their Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering now offers courses in green architecture and sustainable development. It is very smart of these students to enter these careers as it does not only help the environment, but also is obviously a big concern of large corporations lately, and a very profitable career can be obtained through this path.

Some more colleges on the path to help the environment include Dartmouth, Harvard, Illinois State, and Middlebury. The future of our environment now seems very promising as thousands of some of the brightest and ambitious students are on board to do what they can to help save the environment, and a dynasty has been built as more and more students will be trained to do so as well for years and years to come. This sort of action from our up-to-date future leaders is exactly what we need to help get the job done, and can only lead to a brighter future.
