There have been well-publicised cases of bloggers getting fired for blogging about work, so one ought to do so anonymously. However, I am negating the issue by writing only positive things. Cunning, eh?

I'm doing an internship at New Energy Finance, a startup firm providing specialist financial information on the renewable energy sector. These are exciting times for NEF: on Thursday, the FT ran an article based on an NEF press release. The gist of it is that, according to NEF's index of renewable energy companies, the Kyoto Protocol appears to have boosted firms in participating countries (e.g. Japan, Canada, EU member states) and hurt firms in non-participating countries (e.g. the US, Australia).

Do a quick search, and you'll see that the story has now been picked up all over the place. For instance,

GreenBiz

EarthVision

sustainablog

Modern Power Systems

.

And I've made it onto the NEF team page, hurrah!
