    Housing and transition housing, particularly single mothers. More relevant education, butting up against the still relevant "mens club" in some industries, the drug culture run by men, but ensnaring women in the path toward distruction.

    The energy sector is the second largest sector in in potential co2- eq reduction potential, and also the 2nd largest in economic savings potential. And these are BIG numbers. Also this secton is well along on the intagration path, probally because of the big economic potential. Lots of low hanging fruit, as they say.
    Also, I have deep knowledge of most renewable energy options.
