I am a reporter. I’m also an author, filmmaker, and public speaker. I’ve been writing about energy, power, and politics for more than 30 years. My credo is simple: Energy realism is energy humanism. Spotlighting the essentiality of affordable energy and power to modern society is my purpose and my passion. My goal here on Substack is to provide readers with sober reporting and analysis that’s backed by numbers and data-rich charts.

My first book, Pipe Dreams, spotlighted the rise and fall of Enron. My sixth and most-recent is A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations. I have produced three documentaries including my latest, a mini-documentary called Sunblock: The Global Fight To Save Farmland From Big Solar. Along with Tyson Culver, I’m also the producer of a five-part series, Juice: Power, Politics, and the Grid, available for free on YouTube. I was also the executive producer of the 2019 feature-length documentary, Juice: How Electricity Explains the World. I live in Austin with my wife, Lorin, who is an art teacher, photographer, and master potter.
