FUTURE ENERGY STRATEGIES- www.future-es.com

Future Energy Strategies is a new organisation which brings together a unique group of industry analysts to do exactly what the name suggests – provide strategic insight into the future shape of the energy industry in Britain and across the European market.

The group will initially communicate messages on a number of energy industry issues through the medium of reports – available online and in hard copy. But in a world saturated with information, where a multitude of organisations are clamouring for us to buy expensive, often longwinded and sometimes out of date ‘expert insight’, Future Energy Strategies has an ethos which sets it apart from others seeking to sell information and insight.

AEI - www.altenergyinvestor.org

Dan Lewis is Founder and editorialist for AEI, a site sponsored by Guinness Atkinson Asset Management. AEI is a leading global content provider for news, comment and prices specifically focussed on alternative energy stocks.
