| I'm a professional mechanical engineer.
I can explain the economic tradeoffs of making electricity from natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and biomass energy sources. I have a pretty good understanding of the science on global warming and can explain how these energy conversion technologies affect that process. I can tell you why we have to build more nuclear plants, keep using coal, and cut way back on using natural gas to make elctricity. I can de-mystify the concepts of efficiency and energy conservation. But, I'm not an electrician so I don't do wiring! :-) | Available

| I can answer basically any question pertaining to the field of electricity, its applications and daily uses, theory, calculations, how to for residential, commercial, and light industrial. I am an inside wireman, therefore I can't help much with questions to do with linework, such as powerlines and distribution switchyards. I can however, answer some questions that have to do with power generation. | On Vacation
