I decided to come back t school . . . wanted something ocean-based, I'm from Hawai'i and love the ocean . . . didn't have the credits for Oceanography or Marine Biology . . . I was hooked by the title of this course--Renewable Energy--that's a hot topic . . . and it is something that we need for sustainable living
