I.e., it's a great time, money-wise, to be an Electrical or Environmental Engineer, because the US federal and some state governments are wasting massive amounts of money building stupid, even self-defeating, 'green' solutions that are about control and lobbyists ... which is why we're 'face palm' at the same time.
E.g., a lot of the big oil lobbyists have found a lot of work at these green companies.
But this goes back to my original complaint against The Sierra Club and what it has 'accomplished' over the past half-century, and why California should be the posterchild for how to destroy the environment at 10x the cost.
We must remain educated to be free and actually have real, pro-environmental policy.
