Rob Bradley, Jr. can be fairly considered one of the leading experts in the nation, if not the world, on energy issues, particularly oil and gas and renewables.  Bradley has written seven books including, Edison to Enron: Energy Markets and Political Strategy’s and an energy primer (coauthored with Richard Fulmer) Energy: The Master Resource and is the CEO and founder of the Institute for Energy Research, among the nation’s leading research institutes on the structure and regulation of energy markets.

Bradley briefly discusses the history of innovation in natural gas markets, why markets work better than government intervention in reducing energy poverty and what the biggest threats are to energy and thus economic progress in the world today.  Bradley also dissects the motives of climate change alarmists and the idea that renewables are the new, innovative form of energy for the future.
