If you’re a frequent reader of the Evergreen Climate Innovations blog, it’s a pretty good bet you are interested in other good sources for news and insight. So, we’ve pulled together this list of resources for news and perspective on energy, cleantech, venture capital, and entrepreneurship more broadly. Of course, this list of newsletters, blog, podcasts, books, and twitter influencers is just a start — let us know what we’ve missed and we can update the list over time.
