David asks…
I want to research new Green technology in the future, what course should i take?
Hi, I’m 18 and currently doing my A-levels. I will finish next year in June.
My dream career is to research and work on new, exciting Green technologies for a cleaner future. but i’ve no clue whether i should..
Major in a Chemistry or a Physics course for my tertiary education in the UK?
Please help.

Charles asks…
what types if jobs will we need in the future for green technology?
im doing a project about green tech. and need help with this piece of info
Also what education will be nesscary but i can figure that out.
thats why it says FUTURE
admin answers:
Essentially the same jobs we have today. Green technology is the same as any undeveloped technology; development will be based on economics, to a large degree, and will require people to field it as part of small business; we’ll need engineers, construction managers, ecologists, accountants, researchers, supervisors, and laborers.
Just look at the implementation of wireless technology today- that’s how green technology will go; innovation coupled with development for commercial applications. It’s just another type of business.
Paul asks…
Do you think Green technology is important in future?
Do you think we need alot of engineers for this technology
admin answers:
“Green technology” is a nickname for technology which hopefully will help humans be environmentally conscious in their actions of using said technology.
Being environmentally conscious is a GOOD THING. We have one planet, and we need to use it responsibly. It only has finite resources that it can offer us, no matter what resource you examine.
True green technology is a good thing too. Nothing is wrong with technology aiding us to use less resources.
What is NOT a good thing is what is called “greenwashing”. Greenwashing is a type of brainwashing whereby which the marketing strategy is to dishonestly advertise one’s product so that people think it is a green technology when it really might not be. Rather than being the green of a healthy planet Earth, it is secretly the green of money instead.
There is always a (for lack of a better opposite of green) magenta side of everything. Magenta representing resource consumption and pollution. Everything pollutes, the real question of a green technology is…does this pollute LESS than the existing alternative per unit of what we want it to do?
It is important to be a responsible consumer and ask yourself this test and research it before being succeptable to greenwashing.

Green technology in the future?
I envision working with technology that can store lightning and use it as power with wind and solar energy as well. Pretty much I want to have human technology coexist harmoniously with nature, maybe by also having everything possible biodegradable.
Could I major in electrical engineering for my undergraduate and go to graduate school in something like geo-environmental engineering, or should I do something else. Any advice from people familiar with this stuff will be appreciated.
admin answers:
Lightning comes from charges that have developed in the atmosphere. Tesla said that there is enough energy in the atmosphere to power all of our needs for free. He was making machines that produced lightning effects to study the phenomena. Unfortunately, he also was deceiving his backer who wanted a marketable product he could make money with.
The technology of free, benign, and available power and the power derived from controlling energy supplies have always been at odds with each other. It is a sad lesson to learn that often politics and economics trumps science, but there can still be hope and a dream.
Engineering has been the conduit for the study of such phenomena in our time. But engineers aren’t known for their political or economic savvy. This is a problem of the compartmentalization of knowledge.
If you have not yet read the book: “How to Read a Book,” by Mortimer J. Adler then I would suggest you take it as a foundation for your college education. From there it seem like you have a good sense and a dream. These things are very important. If you lose your motivation what do you have left. Best of luck to you.
