I have moved back home to support Jim’s campaign for a seat on Wyoming House of Representatives. Jackson is the most fun place I know. You can even get everywhere on bike (if you’re not pulled over first for the many laws applicable to bike riders in Jackson) and climbing, hiking and boating are under an hour away. The people here are always doing something exciting. Because of this it is very hard to get anything done. Here are some pictures of the summers adventures.
Gannet Attempt
3 days after arriving home I left with a group of friends for a week ski trip in an attempt to summit the highest mountain in Wyoming. None of us had done any serious winter camping so it was a learning experience for all of us. Each of us brought 1 dinner and our own breakfast and lunches. Though we did not make it up Gannet we had a great time.
Ski the Skillet
Turner Alex and I left at midnight from Jackson, drove to the park, canoed across Jackson lake to the base of Mount Moran and hiked 5 hours straight up the mountain. It was a long walk but an amazing trip. The skiing was great on the center third of the mountain.

The book delivers an optimistic outlook of how the United States can realistically address its energy security vulnerabilities and global warming impacts by putting the new energy companies on an equal playing field with their fossil fuel competitors. Krupp and Horn argue that internalizing the environmental costs of fossil fuels with a CO2 cap and trade system will allow the market, not the government, determine which companies and technologies can reduce greenhouse gasses most efficiently and provide energy at the lowest cost. The reality of the solutions are shown with explanations of the leading energy and environmental service companies in operation today. The book is comprehensive update of the status of renewable energy technologies and the economic and political landscape that faces them.

In an attempt to keep this site up to date here is a summary of the events of the past couple months. After returning to the states I stayed with on some friends couch in Manhattan while I looked for a job in energy finance. I had such a good time and still did not have a real job so I decided to stay a while get a resaurant job and apartment and explore the city. Working at Spitzers Corner half a block from my appartment on Rivington and Ludlow was a treat and it could not have been in a better neighbor hood. The Lower East Side is full of bars (Pianos was my favorite with live music and an energetic crowd), young people and a history that never matches the next decade. Several job leads led to nothing I wanted to comit to for any period of time. One lead at a recruiting firm on a Friday in early March had several interviews lined up with a “company” that needed analysts with a technical bachground. Turns out that the majority of those interveiws were with Bear Stearns, the investment bank that announced bankrupcy the following Monday. This beginning of the financial slowdown convinced me to head back to Jackson to enjoy the summer because NYC did not need another unqualified cog looking for work.
