Hi-
I'm graduating this summer with my b.s. in math, but unfortunately I don't have anything lined up for work so I'm thinking about continuing on into grad school.

I'm interested in alternative energies and community reform, and I'd like to try to combine these two interests.

I would be interested in finding ways to endow small communities with ways to break the reliance on large concentrated forms of power such as coal, etc and have the ability to become somewhat self sufficient.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice on what areas of study to look into?

I know this is all very vague, however this is unfortunately where I'm at in my thinking at the moment. I spent a year studying nuclear engineering with a focus on fusion energy systems, however now I'm thinking that I like the idea of communities becoming independent and less reliant on concentrated energies.
