Great article. Being in the business of green investing, I always like to know of reputable and reliable information on environmental issues. It’s not that easy to do on the internet. Articles like this one just make it a bit easier! Thanks.

Oops. I need to correct my first paragraph.

Change “I was second” to :
“we (PESWiki) were second.”

PESWiki, as you noted, is a collaborative effort involving many people.

I was surprised to not see TreeHugger in your list. I was expecting that it would get first place when you mentioned I was second.

Your choice of Alex’s Alt Energy News is a good choice. His coverage is more broad and exhaustive of all things alt energy, whereas we at PES Network focus in on the more exotic technologies that often do not get any press, such as magnet motors and cold fusion, while also covering the best alt energy technologies we run across.

You’ve seen the quote on our site: “He who is one step ahead is a genius, he who is two steps ahead is a crack pot.” We try to bridge the chasm to the two-steps-ahead stuff, by associating it with the one-step-ahead stuff. The hard part is identifying what truly is revolutionary, and what truly is bogus, because the distinction is often hard to make in the early stages. They all look crazy. That’s why I founded the New Energy Congress . . . to help find those needles in the haystack of wild things that lurk outside the box. (sorry for the mix of metaphors)

Standing as a friend of these exotic approaches, while being noble, also has a turn-off factor, trimming down the size of our audience to just the mavericks; so as long as we list “magnet motors” and “cold fusion” with a straight face, we will probably not have the broad appeal necessary to truly grow our site to its potential. But once some of these exotics prove out to the public, then there will be a mad dash.

I would say that I consider Alex to be a part of PES Network. We feature his many topical news pages from our topical energy index pages, and vice versa. I’m glad to say we have a close relationship. He certainly is open to most of the more exotic stuff we cover, which is refreshing, as some alt energy sites can be quite snobbish, clinging tight to academia, who say such things are “impossible”.

We believe that our site is the truest as it presents the facts as they are. We have refused to whitewash. Our montly newsletter Footprints is one of the best and most informative on our abused planet.

please do check us out on http://www.planetextinction.com and go to the ‘archive’ page for FOOTPRINTS. Thanks

Thanks a lot for including National Geographic in your top ten picks– it’s very gratifying!
You might also like to know that Nat Geo Traveler magazine has a blog devoted to sustainable and authentic travel. It’s called Intelligent Travel: http://www.intelligenttravel.typepad.com/
I like knowing your other top picks, such Meet the Greens, which I didn’t know about, even though it’s sponsored by National Geographic too!
