Renewable Energy Education in America

March 19, 2009

Welcome back, dedicated reader! Thanks for visiting.






No Problem!

Perhaps our education system is a little bit slower on the uptake than the European system, but that’s ok.  With the University of Arizona leading the pack, pulling together different disciplines in a coordinated effort to sprinkle some green on top of a holistic education, they should receive a salute for trying.

But now the country has come to a time when we know what a green education should look like.  A comprehensive overview of business, politics, economics, technology and science, the Green Development approach.  Sounds like a fantastic program to me.  But does such a program exist?

The answer is Yes!

I’d like to introduce you all to the Boots on the Roof Green Degree. Colour your education to match the movements and demands of society.  So get trained up, we have a lot of work to do.
