Get Energy Smart! NOW!

Over a three-week period, the Clean Energy For Biden (CE4Biden) Clean Energy Summit has showcased dozens of proposals for consideration (and action) by the Biden-Harris transition team for action in the coming year(s). While, to be clear, these proposals are not all-encompassing of the opportunities and requirements for clean-energy action nor are they institutionally endorsed […]

This morning, (un)Real Donald Trump tweeted out boosting a careerist who has made a fortune in propagating climate-science denialism. Once a Jim ‘snowballs disprove science’ Inhofe staffer, that careerist — Marc Morano — merits distinction as the Andrew Breitbart of the climate-science denial world. Breitbart [specialises in] twisting the truth, editing video to make black […]

Regretfully, I have allowed (over the years) my Energy Bookshelf to build up (and up and up) to all too many bookshelves. Simply put, Marie Kondo wouldn’t be pleased with me. In this process, there are many books which have left a lasting impression and which I quote/reference in interactions which I have not given […]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) Platform Committee is holding a series of (pseudo-)public hearings this week en route formalizing the Platform. Amid the reality and necessity of tRump’s mismanagement of Coronavirus response, these hearings reasonably are being held online. “(Pseudo-)hearings” as these are scripted events with no active public comments and engagement other than the […]

A simple truth: the Commonwealth of Virginia (its businesses, its citizens, its built environment, …) is an energy hog with mediocre (perhaps even dismal) energy efficiency. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) ranked Virginia 29th in the nation. According to WalletHub, Virginia’s Home Energy Efficiency Rank is 35th … out of 48 […]
