About EconGreen

I am an aspiring economist scheduled to finish my doctorate in about a year and a half (currently have a masters and a couple bachelors degrees). I am interested in many areas of field, but my primary interest is in energy economics. Aside from economics, a few areas that I am particularly concerned with are Education Reform (at all levels), the War on Drugs, and Environmental Protection. On a more personal note, I am originally from Louisiana and love my homeland immensely. But unfortunately it\'s difficult to find many people to have an intelligent political conversation with back there. I come from a large family of hardcore conservatives, so my holiday trips home are always interesting. In the future, I\'d love nothing more than to use my degrees/knowledge to help Louisiana move forward, which we desperately need. One last personal not about myself: I love to argue. And a step beyond that, I find very little motivation to participate in conversations that are just affirming the words of others. This can tire even my best of friends at times, so I hope I don\'t rub anyone the wrong way. I just can\'t help pointing out logical fallacies when I see them, so please don\'t be offended if the majority of my post history is centered around disagreements. Debating is just too much fun! Cheers all!
