OK. Time to restart this blog. I have spent the past year working contracts for Puget Sound Energy and Expedia. Both jobs were related to documenting their datacenters. Interesting work and, as always, I learned a lot about energy systems, datacenter construction, disaster recovery and failover processes and procedures.

Now it is time to get back to this effort of freelance copywriting for the Greater Good. I always had an idealist streak in me. But I recognize that we are all on this planet together, this small rock covered with a thin film of life.

We are all dependant on each other.

We all need to understand this basic fact of our existence.

At some point soon we will have to come to terms with the fact that we are using up and poisoning our little nest, that we will have to change or be forced to change.

We are a grasshopper society. We sing and dance and play but ignore the facts that it is all going to change soon.

Peak oil is upon us. Sorry, but hydrocarbon energy is going to get a heck of a lot more expensive to extract and becomes scarcer and scarcer.

Global warming is a reality. It is not when, but how much. We are headed into very scary times. Energy shortages, crop failures, population migrations, increased weather disturbances including stronger storms, hotter and colder extremes.

I wish to write for those companies and organization which recognize the coming changes and are working towards ameliorate the consequences or our grasshopperdom.

I know what I am looking for, but not who yet.

I know an outline of what we will probably need to do and will use that as a way to focus on who and how I wish to help.

I will outline this further in future posts.
