Former Specter Staffer Broadens Leadership of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - February 3, 2011) - The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) announced today that James Warner has joined the newly-constituted advocacy organization as its Director of Policy.
Warner comes to FCHEA from the office of Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), where he served as Legislative Assistant for energy, environment, and climate change. He was a key negotiator on energy efficiency, natural gas, renewable biomass, coal, and transmission issues in Senate climate and energy bills, and in Pennsylvania. He served as a bridge between industry and environmental groups, and worked closely with the natural gas industry, state and local officials, and environmental groups on issues surrounding the development of the Marcellus Shale.
Warner came to the Senate from the non-partisan Pew Center on Global Climate Change, where he was the Congressional Affairs Fellow. At Pew, Warner was a vigorous advocate on the Hill for legislation to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions.
Fuel cells and hydrogen energy are transforming the energy network through distributed generation of clean, efficient and reliable power. They optimize the performance of renewable and nuclear power, turn biogas from waste products into clean, efficient power, and increase the efficiency of fossil fuels while reducing their negative impact on the environment.
"James' strong background in renewable and fossil energy interests will be invaluable as we intensify our campaign to commercialize fuel cell and hydrogen technologies," said Ruth Cox, President and Executive Director of FCHEA. "With James, we have strengthened our ability to impact public policy, and position fuel cells and hydrogen energy to deliver the maximum value in terms of America's competitiveness, economic growth and our national security."
Warner received his M.A. from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, his B.A. from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala in 2002-2004.
He was born and raised in New York City.

Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
| Peace Corps: The Next Fifty Years As we move into the Peace Corps' second fifty years, what single improvement would most benefit the mission of the Peace Corps? Read our op-ed about the creation of a private charitable non-profit corporation, independent of the US government, whose focus would be to provide support and funding for third goal activities. Returned Volunteers need President Obama to support the enabling legislation, already written and vetted, to create the Peace Corps Foundation. RPCVs will do the rest. |
| How Volunteers Remember Sarge As the Peace Corps' Founding Director Sargent Shriver laid the foundations for the most lasting accomplishment of the Kennedy presidency. Shriver spoke to returned volunteers at the Peace Vigil at Lincoln Memorial in September, 2001 for the Peace Corps 40th. "The challenge I believe is simple - simple to express but difficult to fulfill. That challenge is expressed in these words: PCV's - stay as you are. Be servants of peace. Work at home as you have worked abroad. Humbly, persistently, intelligently. Weep with those who are sorrowful, Care for those who are sick. Serve your wives, serve your husbands, serve your families, serve your neighbors, serve your cities, serve the poor, join others who also serve," said Shriver. "Serve, Serve, Serve. That's the answer, that's the objective, that's the challenge." |
