Yes, interesting post – I think both sites are great (now !) – surprised by how much cool roof info there was at the epa – how did they find time to research it all in just a few months. Not like the Bush/Cheney DOE with its complete dismissal of solar and wind etc, and even geothermal: completely ignored.

Thanks for the comment Dan. I like how easy it is to find information on their site. I actually noticed a discrepancy on their site yesterday (turns out I was reading the graph wrong) but I was able to call up the phone number and the guy helped me in no time. I think any information should be in open format and “excel exportable”. Too often on the internet I find graphs and have no clue where the data came from or if it is accurate.

Nice post. I had no idea you were a fan of the EIA. That’s kinda funny actually. I have to work with EIA a lot, mostly fuel forecasts. I pretty sure Elizabeth has to, especially when I went on vacation the last 2 weeks, hah.
