Here’s an author who believes that the U.S., with its appalling failure to establish an energy policy, is squandering its energy resources — and he’s 100% correct.

A friend wrote me a note just now that I thought I’d share, as it most certainly contains a great deal of truth. And as depicted in the photo here, this whole transition packs the potential to be a great deal of fun. He writes: 
We love our technology, but we could do without the high energy bill. If you’re looking to save some money and make a good impact on the environment, there are plenty of awesome energy-saving inventions you might be surprised to find actually exist. Here are seven green gadgets you didn’t even know you needed.
Here’s an article from my colleague 
It was on this day in 1787 that the United States Constitution was signed by delegates at the final meeting of the Constitutional Convention.
I’m headed back to the East Coast next week for seven appointments in two days scattered from Washington DC to New York – and, luckily, all accessible by public transportation. Whenever I can substitute a train for a rental car, I’m a happy man: no toll booths, no traffic jams, no cops with radar guns – in fact, less stress of all kinds – just an office on wheels, with a far better carbon footprint.
The PR company I’ve engaged to generate radio and TV interviews kicked off today, with an email blast to a huge number of producers, directors, journalists, etc. with the subject line “Renewable Energy – Following The Money – It Will Be Interesting To See Where It Takes Us…” These guys (
