Not enough data
Casey Crownhart provides in-depth coverage of climate technology, renewable energy, and carbon removal. The extensive use of data and reviews indicates a preference for evidence-based pitches. Given the focus on industry-specific topics and government announcements related to environment and energy, she would likely be interested in receiving pitches from professionals with expertise in these areas or those who can provide detailed data-driven insights.
The absence of a specific geographic focus suggests that Casey may be open to international perspectives as long as they are relevant to her themes covered. Pitches should emphasize the latest technological advancements, significant environmental developments, or innovative approaches within these sectors while ensuring a strong basis in scientific data or authoritative review.
