Industry info/ IEEE
It's usually a combo of electrical, mechanical, process, and chemical engr. The old timers had EE or ChemE backgrounds and ended up in power. Programs fixed that so students graduating would have the needed skill set.
It's a huge field. Dartmouth, RPI, and Carnegie Mellon are the best on the east coast.
Berkeley, University of Washington, and Stanford are the best on the west.
U of Minnesota is the best in the mid-west.
UT and Texas A&M are pretty good in the south but those colleges fund petro more because of the regional demand.

I'm an old timer with ChemE so I can see how that would happen.
I agree that there will be a transition to alternative energies and it will need engineers who think outside the box. But it will be pretty chaotic and no place for engineers who want stability.
