I’ve been collecting online resources that attempt to capture, distill and present the full Energy and/or Climate landscape in a consumable model. These have helped me on my own path, and I hope you find some/all of them valuable too.

Keeping up the Energy around the Energy Transition
The recent COP26 Climate Summit brought much-needed attention to the Energy Transition. Here's hoping we can keep up the collective energy around the crisis, keep our attention focused on solutions and keep our optimism strong for what will likely be a long path ahead.

Why you should read Bill Gates’ book about climate disaster
Either you don't know how scary climate change is and feel like it might be time to bone up a little OR you already understand that things are bad in the world and you want to feel more positive about what might be done or at least where you can start.

Climate Change is driving this Energy Transition
I’ve been researching a broad range of energy topics for many months now because I'm captivated by the urgency and scale of our global Energy Transition. I had originally planned to skim over the whole Climate Change area, but I now realize that there is not only a direct and critical connection between the two but that this Energy Transition is being spurred along by our current climate crisis.

My RE POV in April 2021
This point-of-view represents my current understanding of the renewable energy space as it is coupled to the larger Energy Transition movement and ultimately being propelled by the looming(!) climate crisis.

1st Post: the Renewable Path?
At the beginning of 2021, I made an earnest decision that will certainly impact my life and my career for the next decade. I am joining in on the global Energy Transition movement and more specifically, I am focusing my energy in both my personal and professional life to head down a renewable path.
