Energy Policy and the Skyrocketing Rates of Certain Childhood Diseases
Over the years, I’ve learned that the most productive way to deal with climate change deniers is to point out that global warming is only one of half-a-dozen reasons to knock off our dependence on coal and oil. “Just pick …

Video on Geothermal Energy
As an ongoing part of our series in which we introduce the basics of renewable energy to young people and newcomers to the subject, here’s a short video I made recently on geothermal. Here I talk about the fundamentals, and …
Celebrating the U.S. Constitution
Here’s a piece I wrote originally in 2009 for another website, but I wanted to make it available to 2GreenEnergy readers as well. 220 years after the birth of our beloved U.S. Constitution we see its basic tenets challenged from …
Pros and Cons of Solar Energy from Photovoltaics
Here’s another short video for young people and newcomers to the subject of renewable energy. In this brief talk on solar energy and photovoltaics (solar panels), I provide my thinking on the strengths and weaknesses of solar power. Hope you …

Our Energy Policy Should Be Rooted in Logic
I just started a fine historic novel that my brother gave me for Christmas, The Hangman’s Daughter; the first 100 pages are really good. In addition to the story itself, a murder mystery set in mid-17th Century Bavaria, the author …
Ocean Current Energy Holds Potential
Ocean current energy, a form of hydrokinetics, is one of the often-overlooked flavors of renewables, one that holds a great deal of potential. Low hanging fruit here, it appears, are the large and predictable currents that flow with very little …
