Hi there,

I just discovered this post today and thought you might be interested in some more information about the current energy crunch. Here at The Wilderness Society, we’ve been compiling quite a lot of info that you might find useful for a future post. Hopefully we can talk a little more about the opportunities via email (Andrew_Peters ‘at’ tws.org). I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

In the meantime, you might want to check out a couple links:
