Fact-finding for biofuels, health care, politics, demographics, business, contracts, science, and art.

“The files uncovered by Doug Drenkow from the WWII period provided HCL CleanTech [a new biofuels company] with invaluable operating data.”

“[Doug’s] research on the subject matter ... I asked for was extensive. ... I truly enjoyed the interaction with him throughout. ... It is testimony to how much he cares about people and how much he cares for what he does.”

Biofuels Research

Under contract to a new biofuels company, I researched archives worldwide online for historic operational data in support of their very promising new take on a proven old technology, which I had originally researched in college, to turn homegrown biomass into fuel with no net addition to the Greenhouse Effect.

Statewide & Nationwide Meetings on Health Care, Federal Budget, etc.

I served on a select panel doing real-time analytics of feedback from thousands participating in a statewide health care symposium attended by the governor, other legislative leaders, and mass media. I later was one of thousands nationwide participating in a discussion on the national debt and budget, for a report to the president and Congress.
