There are many, many sources of information on the internet and its often hard to tell which ones are good and which ones are merely well written. These are links to sites that are rigorous about facts and focused on areas that are of interest to us.
Viridian Design Movement
If you see something here that makes you stop, think, and then laugh a little bit you're likely experiencing the Viridian Effect. Bruce Sterling, prolific cyberpunk novelist and visionary in residence at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, launched the Viridian Design Movement in 1998 with the specific intent that it expire when the Kyoto Protocol did in 2012. If you'd like to know more the best place to start is with his novel, Distraction. Don't buy it from Amazon - they're evil patent trolls.
Climate Change
The folks over at Real Climate are the real deal - climatologists, meteorologists, physicists, both theoretical/modeler types as well as field researchers. Any peer reviewed (ie validated) climate science of any consequence that has been published has been discussed here.
Energy
The Oil Drum is the final word on trends in oil, gas, coal, and they know renewable energy information cold. The editorial staff of their daily Drum Beat is absolutely ruthless, ensuring a valuable, focused discussion.
Financial Matters
Ilargi and Stoneleigh over at The Automatic Earth provide regular updates on all of the big financial news by referencing primary sources, then they provide some English language interpretation for us. This effort grew out of the financial news roundup that used to be on The Oil Drum Canada.
Energy Policy
The Energize America 2020 site is the nerve center for Progressive energy policy discussion. The Stranded Wind Initiative exists in large part because EA2020's founder, Jerome a Paris, introduced the movers and shakers in our group.
We publicize our works via the username Stranded Wind over at the Progressive news site DailyKos. This site, the largest blog on the net per a recent Scientific American study, has been an excellent forum for us to air our ideas among activists of all sorts.
U.S. Politics
General Information About Wind
Paul Gipe of Wind Works is a tireless advocate for sensible wind policy and has written six books on the details of wind operations.
Rail Electrification
Alan Drake, rail electrification guru, maintains LightRailNow. We've talked a bit about railroad right of way and how it might be used for wind farm deployment, transmission corridors, and transport of the extremely heavy wind turbine components and installation equipment. This idea needs a little more work once our wind driven ammonia project is off and running.
Firming of Stranded Renewables
Bill Leighty of The Leighty Foundation has done a great deal of high quality thinking and publishing regarding the firming of stranded renewables. Firming, or the time shifting and transportation of electricity generated by renewable resources is a key to freeing ourselves from fossil fuel dependency.
American Wind Energy Association
Everyone is a member of the American Wind Energy Assocation.
North American Wind Power
North American Wind Power publishes one of the best monthly journals in the wind industry.
Iowa Energy Center
Wind is a wonderful source of energy but Iowa has just as much going in biological processes. The nerve center for this is the Iowa Energy Center at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
Wind NH3 Blog
The WindNH3 blog by Steve G, a fellow who was working in parallel on wind driven ammonia at the same time this site's founders were, just twenty eight miles away. We promptly teamed up just as soon as we met, as we all complement each other nicely.
Energy Shortage
Energy Shortage has a daily rundown of who is going without electricity and a nice global map to allow visualizing the problem.
EnergySmart Blog
The Energy Smart Blog by A. Siegel of Energize America 2020 fame, has some very COOL stuff on it.
Warming Law Blog
A little bird told us Warming Law is the place for climate change legal issues, and after a quick look around we're inclined to agree.
