About this Site
Energy Economy Online is devoted to bringing readers interesting, informative, and useful information on the New Energy Economy:
- “Bottom Line” Original Analysis. Many sites tell you "what" is happening, This Site will also focus on “What Does it Cost?” and "How Do We Pay for It?"
- In Depth Analysis is a hallmark of the Site, with the focus on finding the best solutions. This site is not written in a journalistic "story of the day" format (there are many others who do that quite well). Rather, if the stories of the day leave you wanting to know more, this site may be helpful. The goal here is to explore topics in a very readable and practical manner, while giving more information than the "Stream of Now" media typically delivers.
- Topic Pages make the Site useful for in depth reading. While a mixed format of many topics is good for current articles (which readers can find on our Home Page), sometimes you want to explore one topic. On Energy Economy Online all past Articles on that same topic will be in one place (e.g. all the Nuclear Power articles are in one place.)
- Links along the side bar to several useful websites allow you to use Energy Economy Online as a convenient launching-off point to explore what the Web is offering in this area.
- Subscribe and Comment features are available on the Blog Page. If you want to know when a new article is published, go there and you can receive an e-mail notice of new articles (not very often, so you won't be deluged), and/or an RSS Feed. This is especially useful since articles are not published very frequently, or on a regular schedule since in-depth research is needed for each article.
