Hey I'm interning in green technology/energy right now and its actually pretty cool even though I had no prior interest/experience in it. Wave of the future, very current, affects and is affected by government, public opinion, constant scientific developments. But that might just be me.
Taken straight from M&I: "you could talk about how it affects not only everyone and every economy in the world, but also geopolitics. You could also talk about being interested in promising but controversial technologies like hydraulic fracturing and how quickly the industry is changing due to rising energy demand in emerging markets."
Aside from that, it's not a matter of you actually being interest; rather, making him believe you have interest. Read the news about the energy industry and the future of it. I know Texas as well as some other midwestern states are going to be big in the near future for energy. It's not difficult to make yourself sound intelligent, just find some good sources on the industry and read away.
You can't see it. It's electric! You gotta feel it. It's electric! Ooh, it's shakin'. It's electric!
