The writers behind this newsletter.
Welcome to Energy Bad Boys by Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling. We are energy modelers delivering the truth about energy. Some pieces will be deep dives, and others will be short and sweet. We're happy to have you along for the ride.
Energy Bad Boys co-founder. I write about energy policies impacting Americans and design cost and reliability models to show the impact of energy proposals around the country, which have been used in 12 states and at the EPA.
I'm a born-and-raised Alaskan and I mostly write about energy and environment policy. Expect forays into economics, education, healthcare, and whatever else has annoyed me recently.
