Combating climate change and transitioning to fossil-free energy systems are two central planetary challenges humanity faces today Combating climate change and transitioning to fossil-free energy systems are two central planetary challenges humanity faces today. The two challenges strongly overlap, both in their substance and in the political choices we have to address them. As a […]

My aim in writing Strategies for Managing Uncertainty was to understand how key players in oil and natural gas and automotive sectors have hedged their bets in making long term decisions, when the results of those decisions were unknown in advance. The purpose of the book is to reveal the hedging mechanisms of integrated oil […]

One of the most important questions in science today as it relates to public policy is the debate over whether we should use a linear no-threshold model (LNT) or a threshold model when calculating the health risks of low to moderate doses of radiation. Public policy is currently guided by the LNT model, which posits […]

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” as it’s commonly called, has been touted as a great boon to humanity and at the same time, condemned as a great danger. As usual, the reality lies somewhere in between. Fracking is a process of cracking rock formations (mainly shale) with high pressure water mixed with chemicals to release natural […]
