Mid-year special offer: Get one year of Quitting Carbon at a 25% discount
Here's your opportunity to support independent energy journalism at the best price of the year.
Dear readers,
I launched Quitting Carbon with a simple goal: provide context on the projects, people, and policies advancing the energy transition.
This newsletter isn't the place to come for the third or fourth write-up you've seen that day for a given breaking news story.
Instead, pretty much anything you read here will be a one-of-a-kind look at a story that really matters. My original reporting, commentary, Q&As, and roundups of highlights from what I've been reading are all my way of saying, Pay attention to this.
Finding journalism like this you can trust, researched and written by a journalist with decades of experience on his or her beat, is rare. When it comes to the world of energy, mine is a voice you can trust. I’ve reported on and analyzed the energy transition for more than 20 years.
If you enjoy and value Quitting Carbon, I hope you'll agree that its worth paying for. Don't just take my word for it.
Journalism worth paying for
In talking with fellow newsletter publishers, I've heard that the most we can hope for is that 10% of our readers will pay to subscribe.
So, here's a thought for you.
A restaurant owner would have to shut her doors if nine of 10 diners walked out without paying after finishing a meal. Likewise, newsletters like this one won't survive unless more of you are as willing to pay for what you read as what you eat.
So, if independent journalism – journalism that's not afraid to call out stenography from White House political reporters and lies from Trump's Cabinet alike – matters to you, I hope you will consider becoming a paid subscriber.
For those of you who can afford it, think of it as a gift to fellow energy nerds to make sure these stories remain free for all to read.
As an additional incentive, for the rest of the month, you can get one year of Quitting Carbon at a 25% discount.
The 25% off special offer is good through the end of June.
And if a paid subscription is too much for you right now, consider making a one-time donation instead.
With gratitude,
Justin
