Mr. Hinkle worked in the U.S. Senate, where he was a Brookings Fellow for the

played an active role in the development of the recently passed Energy Policy
Act of 2005 with a focus on: hydrogen vehicles and fuels, energy efficiency, R&D,
Indian energy and renewables, and clean coal. For this work, he received the U.S.
