Some recent comments and op-eds

I have recently published two posts on masterresource.org, and had an op-ed in both the Indianapolis Star and the Providence Journal.
The first Master Resource post commented on the out-of-touch-with-reality energy-related musings of Nixon (and Reagan) cabinet secretary George P. Shultz–noted in an earlier post, and now available here:

Energy Policy Myopia: George P. Shultz Remembered (Republicans have been bad too)

The second, laid out my “rules for a modest energy policy”
http://www.masterresource.org/2013/10/simple-rules-energy-policy/, derived from Chapter 9 of my book.
The op-ed is a reflection on the Arab oil embargo and the first “energy crisis,” which was exactly 40 years ago this month. Here’s the Providence Journal link:
