We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 6, 2012.

It's Almost Ready!

Update #5 · Aug 29, 2012 · comment

We've been plodding away on the book all summer -- sifting through mountains of EIA data, hunting for helpful graphics, writing, rewriting, and rewriting again. We are exceptionally grateful for your support and patience, and The WATT? is just about done! The print version is nearly ready to be sent to the printer and should be available in late September. E-book production is slightly more intricate and we want to make sure that the 1st edition lives up to the potential of the interactive medium, so you can expect the e-book to be available late October. Your rewards will be shipped to you when these items are finalized.

Is your business or organization aware of the energy transition? If supporting America’s clean energy future is important to your company, consider sponsoring The WATT?. Focus the Nation is currently soliciting sponsors to provide their energy information and receive recognition for their commitment to sustainable energy. For more information about this opportunity contact Anne Bertucio at anne@focusthenation.org.

Thank you again for your support and enthusiasm for energy literacy!
