Three authoritative books on energy markets — from the trading floor to the global policy arena.
A Market-Based Path to Renewables
Published October 2020
Dan Dicker, a lifetime observer and expert on energy markets, examines the roadblocks to what should be an easy and natural transition from oil and natural gas to solar, wind and other sustainable energy sources.
In Turning Oil Green, Dicker outlines the missteps from OPEC, energy companies, Wall Street, Washington and the environmental lobby that have turned the path towards renewable energy into a "circular firing squad" — where everyone, from consumers to investors to our planet itself, have come away without the goals they seek.
