[ESIP-all] Fw: Energy Literacy

[Tamara Ledley]

Hi Everyone,
   As many of you know I am involved in the Climate Literacy Network (
http://cleanet.org/cln) and the Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness 
Network (CLEAN) Pathway project (http://cleanet.org).  Part of this effort 
has been to identify a set of Energy Literacy principles similar to the 
other literacy documents (Climate, Atmosphere, Ocean, Earth Science). 
Secretary Chu at the Department of Energy has made this a priority and has 
identified Michelle Fox and Matthew Innman (see below) to carry this 
forward.  There have been two meetings (Nov 1 and Dec 15) to get the 
process going and develop a draft set of principles.  This is now 
available for public comment (link below).  You are all invited to provide 
input and comments on the current draft.
Thanks
Tamara

Energy Literacy Stakeholders,
 
I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break.
 
As I announced in my email of December 21st, the Energy Literacy wiki is 
up and ready to go:
 
http://wiki.citizen.apps.gov/Energy_Literacy
 
We had a few technical difficulties intitially, but I think these have 
been fixed and we are ready to go!
 
Please
- visit the wiki and see what we're up to,
- contribute or edit if you have the time and are so inclined,
- pass the wiki link on to others who are interested.
 
Other Energy Literacy news:
 
- There was an Energy Literacy gathering at Other Lab in San Francisco on 
December 15th. See the article written about the gathering at 
http://gigaom.com/cleantech/why-we-need-energy-literacy .
- We are working on organizing an Energy Literacy meeting to be held in 
the DC area in mid-February at which draft language for the document will 
be looked at and discussed. Look for more details soon.
- We are working on organizing an Energy Literacy meeting to be held in 
the San Francisco area in mid-March at which draft language for the 
document will be looked at and discussed. Look for more details soon.
 
Thank you so much for participating,
Matthew
