As a former teaching assistant for engineering processes, Prince is trained in welding and metalworking. He has published to research papers on the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of various energy sources and developed an interactive app to display the results. Prince’s 2028 paper, “Plan for the Earth” exhibited the numerous energy production and consumption techniques, as presented in Power Engineering Magazine and the Energy Information Administration. Prince holds seven patents in biofuel synthesis from air and renewable energy. His upcoming research will determine the technical feasibility of “breeder plants,” to help eliminate energy poverty and foreign energy dependence. He served as an engineer of varying specialties for Alstom Power, Inc., Sanyo Solar, and Johnson Controls Inc. Starting as a community recycling pickup program, Prince now maintains a sizable green revolving fund focusing on community-driven renewable energy projects. He is closing in on his personal goal of one megawatt of renewable energy generation, as well as five megawatts with his associated energy projects. After becoming carbon-neutral, Prince hopes to have a net-zero output of carbon over his lifetime and prove that it is profitable to do so. He emphasizes local connections for his agricultural sales, while regularly improving his global sustainability-related GIS mapping website. The online visualization of energy systems and development received acclaim from utility companies and environmental groups alike. The website also contains a blog focusing on energy politics around the globe. Prince regularly attends community planning meetings and offers sustainability training sessions in energy development. In the upcoming decade, he plans to serve on the city council and ultimately run for Congress as an Independent.
