A little about me…
My name is Dries.
I attend grad school at UC Berkeley‘s Goldman School of Public Policy. I focus on energy policy and would love to get involved in the wind industry after I graduate. In the past year, I’ve done some work on hydrokinetic energy for carbon dioxide abatement, worked for the California Public Utilities Commission (analyzing power plant procurement and the smart grid, among other things), and wrote a paper about a new gasoline taxation scheme (publication hopefully forthcoming). For my master’s project, I will analyze the financial and political feasibility of the creation of a municipal utility by a mid-sized city in the Southwest.
Some important points regarding this blog:
- I majored in music composition and minored in piano, so I’ll be blabbing about music a lot. Any and all kinds of music. I plan on putting up some sort of semi-regular podcast once I get a better microphone.
- I’m also fairly… urm… political, so I’ll be blabbing about politics a lot, too. I’d be lying if I told you my choice of grad degree wasn’t informed by my political views.
- And lastly, I was born in Belgium and lived there until I was 12, so I’ll be blabbing about things European a bit, too.
So there you have it.
Oh, and as for the name of this website: I used a service by the friendly folks over at dotomator.
