Hi all, Very happy to hear about this conversation getting started.
Indeed we planned to have a sprint about energy this fall - http://sprints.okfnlabs.org/energy/ - which we have postponed until the beginning of next year. We are looking into clearly defining a topic what we are going to work on, preparing the data and background research in advance. A revived Open Climate Science working group as well as social scientists with environmental focus from the Open Economics working group<http://openeconomics.net/> could assist in this. Please let us know if: - If you have any ideas about a topic, which could be addressed in the sprint or - you would like to participate in the current discussion around the theme of energy subsidies Looking forward to hear from you!
