WSJ.com’s Environmental Capital has posted its last post.
Lead writer Keith Johnson blogs:
After more than two years and over 2,000 posts, Environmental Capital is closing its virtual doors.
It’s been, in equal measure, a fun, grueling, and educational ride.
Special thanks are owed to the folks who got it all started and kept it going—Mark Gongloff, Jeff Ball, and Russell Gold—not to mention all the Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal folks who fed the beast so well all this time.
Of course, the biggest thanks of all goes to our readers—both of you. You’re what got us out of bed in the wee hours every morning. Well, that–and the paycheck.
We didn’t have any warning about the blog’s demise and Johnson declined comment on it, though his quip about “our readers – both of you” suggests that the central brains weren’t sufficiently impressed with the traffic.
Too bad, it was our first read in the morning. Not sure if NYTimes.com’s Green, Inc., is going the way of the Dodo too. A mass extinction of green energy, policy and finance blogs.
