Twitter is a great resource for clean tech info
In the niche world of clean technology, I’ve found Twitter to be great for connecting with industry professionals as well as filtering the Internet to get the news that I want. The best part of clean tech is collaboration, and the idea that “We’re all saving the world,” makes people very open. I’ve exchange many tweets with Renewable Energy CEOs and other prominent professionals because I simply wanted to get their opinions on issues.
Without further adieu, here are my favorite clean tech tweeters from across the U.S. in no particular order:
