He advocates for building a stronger national power grid through the use of renewable energies, working to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy. Animated and entertaining, he shares the fascinating energy trends audiences need to know.
Robert Bryce, one of America’s most prominent energy journalists, is the author of five books, including Power Hungry and his latest, Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper, which looks at how we are innovating our way toward energy independence. A senior fellow with the Center for Energy Policy and the Environment at the Manhattan Institute and a passionate and engaging speaker, he skillfully explains the scale, physics, and math behind our energy and power systems while exposing the myriad myths about energy.
