Cornell Lab Of Ornithology Q&A: What jobs are out there for EEs or CSs where we can actually contribute to the earth and the environment?

Question by Bare Bear: What jobs are out there for EEs or CSs where we can actually contribute to the earth and the environment?
I am lacking motivation at my job because we just make electronic trinkets. I need to contribute to what is important to me. Earth and environment. Nature. Peace.

Best answer:

Answer by Ubi
Certain sectors of the power industry deal with converting renewable energy sources to electrical energy. One could work for a company that manufactures solar panels or wind turbines. These devices require a surprisingly broad array of electrical engineering knowledge to design and build (especially wind turbines).

Also, there is renewed interest in electric cars. If these take off, there would also be a renewed interest for engineers with knowledge of electric motors, controls, power electronics, etc.

I think improving our renewable energy supplements is one of our most pressing environmental problems at the moment.
