Hi, I'm Will Wade

Will
I'm fascinated by alternative energy, but I think there's a huge gulf between making it work in a lab setting, and making it work in the real world. I'll be writing about how to bridge that gap, and make AlternaPower a reality. I've covered business and technology from both coasts, and have written for The New York Times, Wired, Salon, and other publications. Like something you read? Got an idea you think I might like to hear about? Drop me a note at will@wadeonline.net. I look forward to hearing from you. --Will
