Introduction to Energy in California, by Peter Asmus
I wrote a chapter on California's contributions to innovation as part of this new reference newly published in July 2009 by the University of California Press. Making the complex world of energy science and policy accessible, Peter Asmus examines the rich human history of California's earliest oil and hydroelectricity developments to the latest advances in renewable technologies.
Energy Central in June 2004 published the Pulse e-zine devoted to the status of the U.S. electric transmission system. Building a 21st Century Grid features articles and opinions from such well-known energy observers as Leonard Hyman, Bob Gee and Chuck Newton. "A Conversation with Clark Gellings of EPRI" about transmission infrastructure needs, and "Is Reliability a Good Investment?"
Look for my cover article on the aging utility workforce, Brain Drain: Our Graying Utilities in the premiere issue of EnergyBiz magazine, Nov/Dec 2004.
In the Jan/Feb 2005 issue, my contributions included Breaking the Energy Deadlock and other stories about National Energy Policy Act debates, and Piecing Together the Interactive Utility. The March/April 2005 issue featured my articles, Executive Suite Musical Chairs and The New CIS Experience.
