Background

About Eric Evarts

I have spent more 30 years writing and editing for national publications and am now transitioning to teaching the subjects I've worked so hard on and reported about. Teaching has been my passion and career for the last year. Previously, I have cultivated a deep understanding of climate and energy issues as a reporter, developed relationships and gleaned the perspectives of consumers, engineers, business executives, and public regulators, and shared this knowledge with consumers through daily news blogs, newspaper sections, a Website, and monthly magazine articles. My definitive pieces on alternative fuels and their impact on climate, consumers, transportation, and the economy have appeared in CONSUMER REPORTS magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, and journal Nature, and elsewhere, usually on very short deadlines. My goal is to gain and share as much knowledge as possible about effective communications, real alternatives to oil dependence, and the costs and compromises involved, without oversimplifying, looking for panaceas, or glossing over challenges. Specialties: writing, media, alternative fuels, and future energy sources, and urban planning.
