About
The urgent complexity of the energy problem the world faces now and for the foreseeable future boggles even the sharpest minds. The ultimate outcome of the ordeal will be influenced by countless technical, scientific, political and social variables.
One such variable is the ability of citizens to make sense of new events and ideas as they arise. Luckily for those concerned about the energy problem, the energy and environmental news space on the web is ballooning. A wealth of excellent content is the exciting result, but the trade-offs are information overload and misinformation, and the big picture remains blurry and fragmented. Political rhetoric, corporate sales pitches and faulty journalism too often distract from pressing questions. And the core concepts–growing demand for energy and food, the need to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, population growth and changing climates–are too frequently lost in the shuffle.
The New Fuelist aims to reduce the noise down to a clear signal, updated daily. We see it as our mission to keep our readers keyed in to important issues, meaningful events and poignant conversations in the energy and environmental internet news space. And we hope we accomplish this by providing conceptual and historical context for the daily news, and by referring readers to reports and commentary from topflight internet sources.
