Environmental Risks of Chinese Energy

The New York Times carried an excellent article in Sunday's (Aug. 26) edition on the impact of China's growth and concomitant energy use on its environment under the rubric "Choking on Growth." The New York Times website carries the article as well a video and a map of environmental impacts. See at Choking.

Getting Started

This is my first attempt to start a blog. I retired from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2006, where I was Director for European and Asian Affairs, and then set up a consulting company, International Risk Strategies, located in Tampa, Florida. You can read more about the company and me on the company website. I shall try to pass on interesting items that are not covered in the usual news sources and shall look forward to reader feedback.
