I want to help the US and eventually the world adopt energy policies that are truly sustainable, replacing fossil fuels while placing as little burden as possible on the average citizen. I see huge potential in nuclear, fuel cell and photovoltaic energy sources and I want to use my background as a mechanical engineer in any way I can.
