Energy and Environment: Beyond the Basics

It can be hard to find reputable sources of information about energy and the environment online. With so many competing ideas and various interests involved, it's hard to find clear, unbiased information. Hi, my name is Jamie, and I hope to change all that. In this blog, I plan to write about a range of energy and environmental topics.

My passion is renewable energies, but I enjoy writing about fossil fuels as well. I hope to cover issues important to consumers, business owners and everyone in between.
