Carnot Communication’s central mission is to help people learn about energy choices. People may bash one type of energy or another, but most people are aware that there is no free lunch.  Each kind of energy has strengths and drawbacks. Going forward, a mix of energy sources is best for the planet, as a balanced diet is best for a person.Carnot achieves this mission through books, articles and presentations about energy and energy choices. Carnot Communications was founded by Meredith Angwin, and she is still the owner and a major contributor to the business.Meredith Angwin's most recent book is "Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid." It describes how arcane rules and five-minute auctions are increasing the expense and fragility of our electric grid.
