This is our 500th post. I wanted to use it to thank our clients, our guest bloggers, and our many thousands of subscribers — a large percentage of whom add fantastic and insightful comments and help make this a lively and interesting conversation. Special thanks to our business manager George Alger, financial guru Bill Paul, and to each of the 2GreenEnergy Associates for their extraordinary talents and support of the renewables industry. A world of appreciation from me to you, for the outstanding contributions you make every day.
Sam Smith of EV World Associates spoke with me on the 2GreenEnergy Report recently, and began by explaining how conservatism and environmentalism are compatible.
I was out with my kids just now, and my teenage son asked me: “Dad, who are your competitors in the 2GreenEnergy stuff you’re going?” That’s an interesting question – certainly a natural one when wanting to know more about a business. And there certainly are a great number of players in this space — just Google phrases with words like “clean, green, alternative, business, biz, sustainable renewable energy …” — and stand back.
But strangely, I don’t think any of us consider the others to be “competitors” in any meaningful way. To me, the existence of myriad websites in this space — each with its own focus and slant — supports the notion that this is an enormous playing field with unlimited room for new other ideas — and new places for people to share good ideas.
On behalf of 2GreenEnergy, Craig Shields speaks on the Energy Industry, and the changes in perspective that are required if we’re to have a sustainable energy policy.
As I mentioned, I’m spending the week in New York City and Bermuda this week for a string of meetings that I believe will ultimately bring a great deal of additional value to that which 2GreenEnergy offers its readers and clients.
I landed in Philadelphia last night to spend some time with my parents and brother’s family before these meetings began. Driving around, listening to the radio, talking to people, and re-acquainting myself with the flavor of the area in which I grew up gave me a renewed appreciation for the scope of the task facing proponents of clean energy — it’s not at the top of the list of things that occupy people’s attention here. In fact, very few conversations, advertisements — anything — focus on environmental topics. A traveller’s tip for those wishing a sure winner as a subject of discussion: the terrible danger represented to us all by the recent failed terrorist attack.
A number of readers have written in, noticing, with general approval, the developments in the 2GreenEnergy site itself. My partner, George Alger is hard at work making all this happen behind the scenes. He does great work, and I’m very appreciative.
In addition, there is something happening here that may be less obvious: people are writing in requesting that certain of us at 2GreenEnergy do work for them on a consulting or contractual basis. I’m already elbow-deep in writing business plans for clients, conducting market research projects, and providing certain other advice in the sales and marketing arena, which was my area of expertise for 25+ years.
But many of these business questions I’m receiving pertain to subjects in which I’m far from expert: legal, financial, organizational, engineering, etc. So, over the coming weeks, you will notice that we’ll be populating various 2GreenEnergy pages with reference to a set of “associates” who can assist renewable energy businesses in a full range of business disciplines.
Please feel free to write in and pose any business-related questions you may have on your mind, and we’ll try to get right back to you.
