About the author — George Howell Ward is a long-time clean-energy advocate and early adopter, not a licensed engineer, energy professional, or scientist. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and writes here as an enthusiast and technologist. These guides are educational, draw on legitimate science only, and avoid debunked claims. He is also involved with a nuclear-power-adjacent venture focused on integrating agentic AI into clean-power workflows — an informal, non-fee involvement in his own venture, described here only in general terms.
