Degree type -- Renewable Energy?

Question

What degree type would be recommended for a career in renewable energy? Also, what jobs would be available?

Answer 1

Civil engineering for building structures (like towers, water wheels/dams, whatnot).  Since you're specifically interested in renewable energy, you might also look into electrical engineering.  That will teach you how electricity can be generated and, more importantly, stored.

Making a wind turbine, for instance, is all about generating electromagnetic energy.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Civil engineer. Most alternative power sources will have structural design requirements.
