2GreenEnergy and the Huffington Post?

2GreenEnergy has a new relationship with a publicity company down in Los Angeles called Jones and O’Malley.  Terrific folks.  They’re trying to get me a gig as a blogger at the Huffington Post, and, to that end, I just submitted a 1000-word sample article.  I can’t publish it here right now, but when I’m able to, I’ll certainly do so.

I bring this up now because of the struggle I went through in crafting it.  I wrote on energy policy and the proper role of government within that setting; it’s a blend of political philosophy and environmental science.

As I see it, the challenge is to pick a non-trivial point and defend it well – one that will make people think in a new direction and possibly even take action.  It has to have gravitas, but it has to be readable; it can’t be filled with arcane verbosity that nobody can understand or care about.  E.g., I tried not to use phrases like “arcane verbosity.”

We’ll see how I did shortly.

Again, thanks to my new friends at Jones and O’Malley.
