Welcome to Clean Economy Chronicles, or CEC (not to be confused with the California Energy Commission!), where I provide information, commentary, and research on clean energy, economics, and a bit on land use, climate tech, and everything else.
Historically, it has been famously difficult to decouple economic growth and energy consumption. For example, China’s impressive economic growth (and hence a substantial rise in the Chinese’ standard of living) in this century has been coupled with an increase in energy consumption of equally great magnitude. And with that a rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions. Although global leaders have been talking about the need to decarbonization for decades, unfortunately GHG emissions along with the cost of climate mitigation and adaptation continue to go up with no signs of slowing down.
In a world where information travels instantaneously and where we live in an increasingly chaotic U.S. political and global geopolitical environment, it seems dire out there. Nonetheless, the energy transition is happening across every economic sector, albeit at an uneven pace where the outcome is often unjust.
CEC is dedicated to chronicling the economy and clean energy in a larger social context. A clean economy for the people and by the people.
About Me
My background lies in the intersection of economics and energy.
I have been reading, thinking, commentating, and documenting about the intersection of economics and energy for over a decade. Although I am an economist by training, my career has mostly been in between sustainability, clean energy innovation and deployment, and economic development.
My work has been editorially featured or cited on the Wall Street Journal, S&P Global, GovTech (here and also here), RealClearEnergy (here and also here), Politico/E&E News (here and also here), Utility Dive, CalMatters, and other media.
My goal is to provide institutional-level research in plain English, so that layman, policy wonks, professional practitioners can benefit from it. But what I want to do most of all, is give you clear information and analysis.
