Get on the Grid

While I attend (and cover for SEED) the North American Summit of the The Climate Project -- a reunion of members of Al Gore's army of climate change slide show presenters -- this weekend, I won't be posting much. Not that I ever post much on the weekends. Meanwhile, however, there's a new mini-collective blog at ScienceBlogs, to which I am contributing. The Energy Grid blog tackles issues "revolving around issues of energy security and environmental sustainability." Royal Dutch Shell is paying us to write weekly responses to questions posed by a moderator, one Jonas Meckling, a research fellow with the Energy Technology Innovation Policy group at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University.

It just started this week, with my first post. As with last year's energy blog, neither SEED nor Shell will exercise any editorial control. And given Shell's recent withdrawal from renewable energy research, you can bet that particular multinational won't be immune from criticism.

And for those of you in or around Boston, Mass, this coming Tuesday, SEED and Shell are hosting a public forum on the same subject starting at 6 p.m. at Battery Wharf.
