AltEnToday

Just wanted to share a few links to some sites that I’m finding interesting. They’re not exclusively about alternative energy, but considering how interconnected alt-en is with everything else; I find each of these worth reading to become well versed in a portion of the equation:

Thomas Friedman : Author of the latest book I’ve read, Hot, Flat and Crowded, Friedman was the one who really shined a light on the triumphs and challenges of globalization. Now he’s perhaps the most vocally outspoken author on the tangible reality of tomorrow’s energy and sociopolitical landscape.

Robert Reich : Former labor secretary under the Clinton administration and now a lecturer / professor at UC Berkeley, Mr. Reich’s book Supercapitalism was thought provoking and a worthwhile read. I particularly enjoy the regularity he updates his blog (damn near daily). Always something worth thinking about.

Francis Vanek : Author of Energy Systems Engineering, Mr. Vanek is a new blogger but posts some interesting facts and thoughts in his first few posts. I hope he keeps it up and I encourage you to take a read at what he’s stated so far.
