As Executive Director of the Center for Resource Solutions, I've been blessed to lead a terrifically talented staff of energy professionals who are carving out new markets for renewable energy and clean-tech solutions to the climate change challenge.
CRS is the nonprofit agency that created and administers the Green-e certification program for renewable energy and carbon-offset products sold at the retail level. Besides Green-e, we also help advise energy policy here in California, across the U.S., and in China.
We have several new initiatives in the works for 2009, and I hope you will explore our many activities at www.resource-solutions.org.

Introduction to Energy in California, by Peter Asmus
I contributed a chapter on California's contributions to innovation as part of this new reference. This clearly written guide provides essential information on a broad range of issues—where our energy comes from, where future supplies will be found, and what new advances are being made in the area of renewable energy sources. Making the complex world of energy science and policy accessible to a wide audience, Peter Asmus examines the rich human history of California's earliest oil and hydroelectricity developments, explains the natural history underpinning the state's cornucopia of energy sources.
The immediate impact of the new Obama administration for green energy advocates will be the immense relief that the US will once again be part of the world community’s movement to seriously address climate change. Environmentalists and concerned citizens will no longer feel we are fighting against a tide of federal government indifference, but that we have allies in and support from the White House and Congress.Look here for my prognosis of the impact of this new administration on energy policies, as part of a 44-day series hosted by Change in Command. Thought leaders from scores of influential nonprofit and academic groups explore the Obama effect on everything from the Arts to Youth Culture.
