A Special Report on The Future of Energy from Mother Jones

It’s behind the war, the recession, the ice caps: if we don’t confront our energy crisis, we’re screwed. Yet switching away from fossil energy requires an economic and social transformation at least as great as the Industrial Revolution.

Please welcome back former J-Schoolers who are now writing or working for Mother Jones. They will discuss their work on the current issue’s special report on the energy crisis.

Coeditor in Chief Monika Bauerlein will also talk about MJ’s ambitious future plans, and how to get involved.

Monika Bauerlein- Co-editor
