Many of today’s vital issues and challenges relate to the production and use of energy. Unfortunately, public debate of these issues is enveloped in a fog of misinformation, myth, illusion, and delusion. For years, this fog has impeded – if not prevented – progress towards effective and useful energy policies. It needs to be dispersed. And that requires an increasing supply of objective, factual analysis and informed discussion. Adding to that supply is the mission of Energy Matters.
We (my colleague Jeff Kolb and I) have a consulting practice specializing in techno-economic analysis of energy-related subjects, with a particular specialty in petroleum refining economics. Energy Matters will concentrate on subjects we actually know something about, mainly production and use of refined petroleum products, techno-economics of bio-fuels, and legislation and regulatory standards bearing on fuels.
