Most of my latest writing on the energy industry is at Powering the Planet.

My articles and op-eds have been published at  Scientific American, DeSmog, In These Times, The Intercept, EcoWatch, Truthout, and Nation of Change.

In 2019 I published Bomb Trains: How Industry Greed and Regulatory Failure Put the Public at Risk.
