Welcome to the Social Surplus - or rather, welcome to how I have chosen to use part of mine. I focus on the issues I feel are important: energy, the environment, the economy, and anything else I find hidden on the internet that seems interesting.

For a background on the concept of a Social Surplus , check out my first post.

Even Oil Tycoons like Renewables

I found this interview with T. Boone Pickens, oil tycoon, a fascinating one. In it, he talks about his investments in wind and other renewable energy projects in Texas. This is exciting because it means that people, smart people, people who are in it for the money, are turning toward renewables not because they have a higher purpose but because it JUST MAKES SENSE. Rock on.
