Updates
We have updated the articles page to include testimony given before the Hearings of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on 31 July 2008, as well as responses to questions from NM Sen. Pete Domenici about that testimony.
We have also updated the courses page with information on the Plain Talk Courses we offer through the IEEE Power and Energy Society.
We’re going to keep adding material and information in the coming weeks…
Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to comment or send a direct email with the link in the sidebar.
