It is with great pleasure that we are announcing that the inaugural issue of the Stanford Energy Journal has been published. Our website URL is http://energyclub.stanford.edu/journal
What is the Stanford Energy Journal?
The Stanford Energy Journal is an online publication by the Stanford Energy Club focused on pressing issues relating to energy and the environment. The Journal is published online twice a year and features 10-15 articles of op-ed length focused on each issue’s single topic. Authors are drawn from a combination of Stanford students representing the depth and breadth of disciplines at Stanford and the world’s foremost thought leaders in science & technology, business, law, and policy. We believe a diversity of author viewpoints makes a better publication and can help interconnect people and institutions with novel approaches to the challenges we face.
