Chemistry Major and Renewable Energy?

<p>Hello! At this point in my senior year I have decided I want to major in a science,specifically chemistry. Also, i was hoping majoring in that would lead into renewable energies etc. (which is ultimatly what i'm interested in). Is this a realistic objective? Or would that only work for a major in engineering? I'm curious to hear from people with a chem major who are working with renewables and if they ever had that choice/path to go to when they were studying in college. Better yet people who are just working with renewable energies! How did you get there? Comments much appreciated! You would be helping out a very confused student!</p>
