Renewable Energy Job Creation — Interview Some Folks in Washington DC

I’m trying to develop solid ideas for a path to pursue this upcoming book on Renewable Energy Job Creation. I woke up this morning with what I think is a good one: Why not head back to alma mater Georgetown with a plea from an alumnus?  Please let me interview a few economics professors. The idea makes sense, but it makes me wish I’d been more generous in my donations.

When I’m in Washington DC, of course, I can knock out talks with folks at the Brookings Institute and a few other organizations. Voila! Instant book!

Of course, this content can have additional purposes. I’m thinking webinars, blogposts, and lectures. And here’s another idea: consulting to politicos. My friend Bruce Allen spends a great deal of time working with US senators and representatives, helping them define their stance on off-shore oil drilling. Couldn’t I do the same on renewable energy vis-a-vis jobs?

My wife points out that this direction is so much narrower than the one I took in Renewable Energy Facts and Fantasies. True, but I think that’s a good thing. Now, I think it’s time for a few deeper dives.
