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.

The Business Electric An exclusive weekly column of news, analysis and opinion documenting the evolving U.S. energy industry on Energy Central's PULSE.
Between May 2004 and June 2006, I published 40 news and opinion pieces in Energy Central's Pulse section, covering regulation, finance and market issues for the U.S. electricity industry. Several of these columns, under "The Business Electric" heading, earned national recognition from the Online News Association in the 2005 Online Journalism Awards for "Best Online Commentary." These articles made up the entry:

The Business Electric served as a focal point for EC's interactive community and tied into its evolving strategy of using e-mail alerts, electronic newsletters, print publications and conferences to extend the Energy Central brand and provide readers with unique insights to the industry.

Energy Central in June 2004 published the Pulse e-zine that I compiled and edited, devoted to the status of the U.S. electric transmission system. Building a 21st Century Grid also featured my articles "A Conversation with Clark Gellings of EPRI" about transmission infrastructure needs, and "Is Reliability a Good Investment?"
