The consensus among the 550 researchers, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs and financiers who gathered at Energy 2.0: The MIT Energy Conference was, "if a green energy revolution is brewing, it will be the students and twenty-somethings who fire the engines of innovation, rather than today's dominant companies."

As oil prices spike and solar and other alternatives drop in price, look for a boom that could rival the internet.
