Howard . Hayden
The Energy Advocate
Howard C. Hayden, PhD is a Professor Emeritus of Physics from the University of Connecticut. A Colorado native, he entered the University of Denver as an engineering major, but soon discovered that he wasn't temperamentally suited to all that reality. He switched to physics and went on to earn his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at DU.On receiving his Ph.D., he went to the University of Connecticut where he spent 32 years doing teaching and research. He did accelerator-based atomic physics, including measurements of cross-sections for various processes, measurements of energy loss in atomic collisions and of lifetimes of excited states, beam-foil spectroscopy, and ion implantation. Hayden has a long-standing interest in energy, stemming from before the OPEC oil embargoes of the 70s. Presently, he publishes a monthly newsletter, The Energy Advocate, which in August 2010 began its 15th year of publication. He has written The Solar Fraud: Why Solar Energy Won't Run the World, and A Primer on CO2 and Climate, both of which advanced to the 2nd edition. The Solar Fraud has sold out, and has been supplanted by A Primer on Renewable Energy.
