Shorting the Grid is widely available now

Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid is Widely Available!


Shorting was published on October 19. I definitely need to do a catch-up post with some links to podcasts and so forth. I have been on some great podcasts (the latest with Robert Bryce) and the book has had some excellent reviews posted at Amazon and Goodreads.

Meanwhile, you can buy Shorting on Amazon (Kindle and softcover and hardcover), Kobo (ebook), Walmart, Books A Million and more. In the approximately two weeks since its release on Amazon, the book has been the #1 New Release in Oil and Energy Industry, Energy Policy, and Electric Energy. (The Electric Energy banner is shown in the graphic above.) You can also order the book through your local bookstore, since it is distributed by Ingram Spark.


Praise Updates:

In my last email, I quoted John McClaughry of the Ethan Allen Institute as below.

"Shorting the Grid ...(is) not likely to make the New York Times Best Seller List, but it will certainly prove to be the gold standard for anyone working to keep the lights on, who needs to know how electric power is produced, distributed, and priced."

However, I was not able to provide a link to his review at that point, because the review was published in a newsletter for members. McClaughry's opinion is important, because he was looking at the book as a former legislator. So I published McClaughry's review on my blog, and you can read it here.

Also as I mentioned last time, Rod Adams, a long-time friend and pronuclear blogger, interviewed me on his podcast.In the blog post about the podcast, Adams wrote: "It belongs in the library of every congressional and senatorial office..." This statement ties in well with my comments about McClaughry's review, above.

One great thing about Rod's blog is that it attracts truly excellent comments. One man commented that he had been afraid that Shorting would be a repeat of Ted Koppel's' Lights Out book, and he was reassured to learn that my book is quite different. My book is about the slow catastrophe of a grid that is less and less reliable, and rolling blackouts that are more and more common. Shorting is not about cyberattacks and EMP pulses, though those are important subjects. It's about ruining the grid by steadily making bad rules and bad decisions.


Recent Praise

I was recently on Robert Bryce's Power Hungry podcast. This was a great podcast. Bryce asked so many important questions. It deserves an entire email, and I will send one! But for now, this email is long enough.

Buy the book

Be well. Be happy. Buy my book.




Thank you!
