I put it like this, >>the emergence and quality of electric cars >>the proliferation of nuclear technologies(fission, fusion) >>the rise of solar, hydro, wind >>Nearly anything related to space in a way that isn't just telemetry but exploration, production, transportation, infrastructure(because, say if you wanted to make orbital solar array, thats one way, or generally move things that may exploit/pollute the earth off-world to much more sterile environments) >>enrivronmental chemistry technologies (co2 scrubbing, or oceanic deacidification etc). If you can find a computational niche there i think that is a way to bring coding to the table.
