Your Questions About Sustainable Energy For All

Joseph asks…

United Nations resolutions that China has signed concerning renewable energy?

I know that China has a lot of renewable energy in their country but i’m in Model United Nations and I’m having a hard time finding *specific* resolutions or acts that China has signed or agreed to from the United Nations. If someone could direct me to a website or a name of a resolution concerning sustainable energy It would be much appreciated!

Maria asks…

What engineering major am I looking for?

The development of a sustainable energy source has fascinated me for years. During the past few years, I have tinkered with wind turbines, solar panels, and other types of renewable energy sources. I do not want to confine my education to the already existing energy sources (wind, energy, solar, thermal, etc) because I believe that a revolutionary, sustainable energy source will be discovered – like zero point energy. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible engineering fields that are centered on the development of sustainable energy sources?

admin answers:

I am a mechanical engineer graduate with masters. I would say mechanical engineering for two reasons. First, I think it suits exactly what you want to do (wind turbines, solar panels, energy sources, solar thermal etc) are all completely mechanical engineering related, I did most of them myself. Secondly, suppose you were to change your mind and for instance, would like to go to the finance sector. I think that institutions prefer hiring mechanical engineers than other types of engineers because its the toughest and they are generally perceived as the most competent.
