More U.S. college students studying clean energy

Abstract:
"Over the last two years, demand for energy courses is off the charts here," Kammen said.

Venture capital cash is fueling new companies and jobs developing alternative energies like nanotech solar cells and biofuels generated by enzymes and termites. Venture capital for energy and environmental technology in several regions of the world in 2006 nearly doubled from a year earlier to $1.28 billion.
