Sorry, FelixKramer.com has been hosted at About.me, which just got uselessly streamlined, removing all my links, etc. Until I fix this, go to BeyondCassandra.org, my "mini-think tank," where I incubate ideas and projects, by clicking above. And find me on LinkedIn or Facebook.

I'm now beginning work on a new project, “SaysWhat?” to create an online tool equipping citizens to challenge every candidate for federal office: "if you want to run a credible campaign, take a reality-based position on climate change."

QUICK BIO: I'm a writer and serial entrepreneur. I thrive on innovative ideas, campaigns, and companies inspiring change. I create and volunteer for nonprofits, and I advise and invest in cleantech startups.

I focus most on building awareness about the climate crisis. For a range of ideas and initiatives, I work with 350.org, Citizens' Climate Lobby, Environmental Entrepreneurs/NRDC, TED, Sierra Club, and in the cleantech and plug-in cars worlds.

I founded the nonprofit California Cars Initiative (CalCars.org) in 2002 to bring plug-in hybrid cars like the Chevy Volt to market. In 2009, with mass-production in sight, we declared first-stage victory. Thomas Friedman said in his best-seller, Hot Flat and Crowded, "Felix Kramer has made plug-in electric cars not only his passion but an imminent American reality."

The past decade has been the most satisfying and productive work experience of my life. We have so much more to do!
