I keep meaning to do a post where I type up excerpts from my SEA journal . . . I suppose I'll get to that eventually.
I'm really enjoying working at the Wagner Power Station. I have my own hard hat! and work suit! and welding jacket! and flashlight! and hearing protection! and safety glasses! and gloves! I am very safe.
Anyways, I recently decided that I want to go to grad school for renewable energy stuff. I found a couple programs that I like:
1.
Civil & Environmental Engineering: Atmosphere/Energy at Stanford University
2.
Energy and Resources Group at University of California, Berkeley
3.
Sustainable Urban Infrastructure at University of Colorado, Denver
4.
Sustainable Energy from Solar Hydrogen at University of Delaware (this one is a little too specific)
I think I want to focus on electrical grid infrastructure (in terms of distributed generation with renewable sources, grid reliability etc.). But I might change my mind. I can't decide how I feel about the more policy-oriented programs (like Berkeley's). I'm slightly obsessed with Stanford's program. I would take renewable energy and weather classes! That's awesome!
Anyways, if anyone knows about other cool renewable energy graduate school programs or understands how fellowships work or knows anyone in any of the above programs ... let me know!
