About Gary W. Martin
Gary W. Martin is co-founder and CEO of SecondWatt, a research and marketplace platform for power generation and data center electrical infrastructure. He is the editor of record for everything published here: the research pipeline assembles sources and produces a draft, and Gary edits every article by hand against the brief and the underlying primary sources — FERC dockets, EPA registers, NERC reports, OEM disclosures and filed earnings transcripts — before publishing it himself. Before SecondWatt he founded and ran PRO EDU, an education publishing company, where he built the editorial and production systems he now applies to power market research.

Editorial Standards
Every article published under this byline follows the SecondWatt research methodology: each data point traces to a verifiable public source — U.S. federal regulators, grid operators, national laboratories, or OEM technical documentation — and editorial review is mandatory before publication. Pricing figures cite the four-tier framework in the Pricing Index, and technology comparisons run through the Power Intelligence Tool.
