Ask HN: How can I work on energy?
Hello HN,
Like many of you, I am a software developer, and I am also interested in the world's energy problem.
What opportunities are available to work on this as a software engineer? Energy companies, SCADA systems? Are R&D positions out of the question without a PhD?
Thank you.

- yellow_lead 7y agoThat is an interesting idea, thanks.
