Back in November, my Buzz Bin post warned that as campaigning for the next presidential election heats up, green energy would become a football tossed back and forth for political gain with little concern for whether these actions foster or retard the creation of needed alternative energy generation and a foundation for achieving [...]

If you missed it a few weeks ago, the New York Times wrote a piece about redefining public relations.
You see, the last time PR was defined was in 1982. Yes, 30 years ago. And, in the last five years, our industry has completely been turned on its head.
All of the [...]

If you asked Santa for more renewable energy in the U.S. portfolio this Christmas, you may hope that Scrooge intercedes with your request. Otherwise, your well-intended wish will bring with it a substantial increase in your utility bill for at least the next 10 years.

Whatever your opinion of Bill Gates and Microsoft, you have to admit he is one smart dude. So when Gates makes a plea in a guest editorial in Science magazine for more energy research & development by the U.S. government, perhaps it is worth taking note.
In the editorial, Gates says the U.S. should [...]

I have great respect for physicians. I think most people do. In fact, doctors were ranked in second place (right behind firefighters and before nurses and scientists) in a Harris poll that measured consumer perceptions of the top 23 professions So, why are some doctors having a Rodney Dangerfield moment and feeling like they “get no respect?”

This weekend, our family posted a question to our friends on FB querying if anyone knew what the Occupy Wall Street folks really wanted. The response was voluminous, but so were the array of answers and their alarming lack of clarity. As the movement continues to pick up speed in cities around the [...]

I admit it. I’m slow to embrace change. The older I get, the more that seems to be true.
