Fran's modem shot itself earlier this evening, so she can't post her selection of news items.

Let's get to it, folks!

Thanks afew (and team)! I was worried my email via ET would not reach you - but you have prevailed. Fran said she hoped to have a new modem today, but just in case, watch out for tonight too!

Cheers!

After a bearable July (a constant succession of cold fronts was enough... to keep the average temperature at the 100-year mean), the heat returned this week. And from tomorrow, I have to travel to Hungary's hottest city...

Which also means that I'll be off-line. Yet, my cyber-ghost may post a diary tomorrow!

Oooh, we can purchase glossy photos...  Do you do autographs? ;)

Hey, did you get a chance to speak with Gore?

it was just a handshake and a photo with the "energy bloggers"

That's too bad.  These should be ideal venues for communicating your ideas, not just venues for getting your photo taken with a celeb.  Sigh.

Did you wash your hand?  {{snicker}}

I like this one better:

And how are you enjoying Austin?

(If you need to cool off, Barton Springs is a really nice place to hang out.

For great pancakes: Kerbey Lane

For great frozen margaritas and all kinds of sinful tex-mex food: Trudy's

For breakfast tacos around:  Julio's Cafe

And for the best. burrito. ever.

And at night you can cool off with a frozen bellini on the rooftop of Speakeasy.)

How was the time slot, and how was the audience?

at the same time (including some high powered ones)

Despite this, we got more than a hundred people in (ie an almost full room), which was pretty good, I thought - especially as there were many faces I did not recognize, ie it was not the "usual suspects" energy geeks.

I suppose it would be a major challenge, but have you considered organising a separate Energize America convention?

It would be a useful PR boost for the renewables industry in both the US and the EU (and possibly also China, etc) and would also be a good networking opportunity, with the possibility of a stronger lobbying spin-off.

given that EA is already moribund due to lack of availability (burnout) of the core team, that would be an ambitious task.

We'd need to update the plan first, but nobody is available to do so. I'd like to, but cannot commit the time to do that.
