Power Struggle Unpacking the Energy Landscape with Robert Bryce
Today we welcome Robert Bryce, Texas based reporter, author and documentary producer.
Raised in the oil-rich heartland of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Robert's journey into energy journalism was inspired by early exposure to the industry and guided by his mother’s dedication to making complicated subjects approachable.
