Stephen Lacey – Climate Progress

It will be with great pleasure that I’ll walk into the office of my friend Stephen Lacey tomorrow afternoon, a young man who has already contributed so greatly to the cause of replacing fossil fuels and nuclear with renewables.  In the position he held for years at Renewable Energy World (which, if I’m not mistaken, was his first job out of college where he had majored in journalism) he developed a comprehensive understanding of the energy industry with astonishing speed, and went on to conduct interviews and write articles that shed a great deal of light on the promise and challenge of clean energy.

Here, just a few years later, he’s in our nation’s capital, researching and writing for ClimateProgress.org, wrapping his wits around man’s impact on his environment, and advocating for strategies that mitigate that impact.

I’m always impressed with young people who have their heads on straight, and who endeavor to use their talents to make a difference in the world around them.  It will be a great joy to see him again and find out more about what he’s been working on since the last time I ran into him.
