Daily Report

Today:
  • Read Heidi's prospectus - not much info yet on public investment; some mention of WPA and new deal projects. She says little and contradictory research exists on employment and economic effects of public I.
  • Installed under-desk tray
  • Compiled "Comparative Study Ideas" spreadsheet for meeting with Bob
  • Met with Bob: 1) Government support for renewables through policies, funding in "interesting" countries (maybe 6-7). 2) Look at cost trends and forecasts for RE technologies. Do problems with implementation have more to do with cost or technology? 3) If U.S. moved to renewables, how much scope for manufacturing them here?

Tomorrow:
  • Begin researching 1-3 above.
