Dan Carol p1

In our crazy-mixed up modern world of SecondLife.com and Snowcrash, if not the decline of the nation state, political strategist Dan Carol cheerily consults on "what's next" for foundations, the renewables industry and elected officials.




Most recently, Carol served as the Content & Issues Director in Chicago for the Obama for President Campaign, where among other responsibilities he guided the launch of Obamas NewEnergyforAmerica.com plan and the 2008 Democratic Platform, Listening to America.

In response to September 11th, Carol spearheaded the creation of The Apollo Alliance (www.apolloalliance.org), a growing strategic effort to promote a "moon mission" national commitment to energy independence and unite Americans of all political stripes in a common purpose.

Before that, Carol served as Research Director for the DNC during the 1992 presidential cycle, where he directed staff work on the Party's platform and worked for the Clinton-Gore debate team. Carol then built the first US Senate campaign website in 1994 and started CTSG, a 70-person pioneer in online cause campaigns, sold in 2004.

A former environmental and energy budget analyst at the Congressional Budget Office, Presidential Management Fellow, and trend consultant for the Congressional Institute for the Future, Dan has spoken on public affairs to groups such as the JFK School of Public Affairs and The London School of Economics. As a strategic advisor, he has served as a consultant to a number of candidate and communications campaigns, including the International Labor Organization for their successful, five-year child labor eradication effort. Carol has served as a Visiting Instructor in Politics at the University of Oregon. His writings and commentary are featured in The Huffington Post.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan Honors College, Dan also holds a MRP in Regional Planning from the University of North Carolina.
