Howard Hayden is a Colorado native who received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. in physics from the University of Denver.  After a 32-year career at the University of Connecticut doing accelerator-based research and teaching (or trying to teach) physics, he took early retirement to return to his home state. 

He writes a monthly newsletter The Energy Advocate, and is the author of The Solar Fraud: Why Solar Energy Won't Run the World, and A Primer on CO2 and Climate, both in their second editions.  He has recently supplanted The Solar Fraud with A Primer on Renewable Energy. He frequently lectures about topics in physics and climate.
