Notes about our interest in the
Scientists typically have an abbreviated manner of talking about their interests. They communicate accurately with each other, but their verbal shorthand often ignores social issues, and is easily misunderstood by those with no technical experience.
Our article, Political Problems of the Department of Energy, and suggested solutions, explores ways to solve those problems and enable big improvements in energy policy.
We can make energy issues far more understandable for the average person, while making it clear that we are explaining only, and have no power to choose energy policy, or any interest in having that power.
Separating explanation from policy-making would insulate political leaders from contentious issues. Intense debates could reach conclusions before a political leader expresses an opinion or designs a policy.
We are especially skilled at discovering underlying conflicts and writing about them in a way anyone can understand. When conflicts stay hidden they delay the resolution of issues, sometimes for many years.
Experience has shown that U.S. voters will allow only themselves to decide energy policy. Americans must live with their choices, so it makes sense that they should decide.
Attempts by groups to push policy in their direction have slowed full resolution of the issues. Each group hoped it would get an advantage, but the result has generally been that all groups got less.
We have other methods of solving the political problems created by the communication habits of scientists, the decades of poor education of voters about energy, and the need to have scientifically knowledgeable leaders in charge of scientific research. Contact us.
