Geopolitical & Energy Journalism Portfolio

A 30-year archive of reporting and deep-dive analysis cited by global institutions, from the U.S. Congress to the OECD. These selected works represent three decades of navigating the intersection of energy markets, global security, and the transition to a net-zero future.

Ken Silverstein’s journalism career as an energy and climate writer began in New York City at PBS’s McNeil/Lehrer Report, but his focus sharpened in 1998 when he began covering the burgeoning energy and climate sector. Since then, he has reported from the halls of Capitol Hill and the White House to the front lines of global energy shifts in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Global South. His work focuses on the intersection of public policy, market economics, and the infrastructure required to power the 21st century.

Strategic Analysis & Global Impact

Beyond reporting, Ken’s journalism portfolio on energy economics and social equity serves as a primary resource for global policy institutions. His work is utilized by the OECD’s Just Transition Centre and is cited as an authority of record in the Stanford Law Review, the Energy Law Journal, and by U.S. Congressional committees.
