Work go rolling on Tuesday, and things are going well. The first day and a half was spent on orientation and training, but after that I got to do some real work. I’m learning the model they use to predict energy usage in 15 year increments, as well as carbon emissions. It is all a little bit overwhelming now, but I’m at the point where I can run the thing and look at the results. Now I have to be able to make changes, say if somebody says “no geothermal, it uses too much water!” and we need to do a study without geothermal. Should be an easy change, but I’m still not quite there yet. Eventually maybe I can put together a presentation like this.
It’s a great work environment, and I am working with a lot of very cool people. Things will get even more interesting next month when I move into DC and it is even more convenient to be social.
