Q: Who is Peter Fairley?

A: An independent journalist, author and editor
with a passion for energy technology and change

 


 

 

Born on the outskirts of New York City, I’ve been moving ever since, making stops in Boston, Berkeley, Kyoto, Montreal, NYC, Paris, Toronto, Vancouver and Washington D.C. These days I call Paris and Vancouver
Island home, but exploring energy systems still calls me far afield
