The mission of the EnergyForward blog is to capture and discuss original, credible, forward-thinking and breakthrough ideas, technologies, collaborative initiatives and the people behind them capable of re-casting America’s energy future. It is about how individuals, corporations, governments, non-profit organizations and educational institutions can help design and communicate a more sustainable path forward, especially with respect to America’s reliance on fossil fuels and the burgeoning markets for cleaner energy solutions.
