My current project for Chatham House and the Sussex Energy Group is called 'Managing Energy: for climate and security'. Working Paper 2, on 'Managing Energy Data', is now available also on the CH and SEG websites. It challenges the conventional view of energy in society, and proposes a more promising vision. WP2 follows on from Working Paper 1, also co-published by CH and SEG, which argues that we are 'Managing Energy Wrong'. Working Paper 3, on 'Managing Energy Technology', is now in preparation.

On 9 December I gave the David Hall Memorial lecture for UK-ISES, called 'Down With Fuel!'; you can watch it here. On 3 March 2010 I gave the 'Core Connections' guest lecture at the University of New England, on 'Changing The Way The World Works'. On 25 March, at the Oxford Literary Festival, I called for 'A New Energy Story'. On 17 May I gave a seminar to the Electricity Policy Research Group at Cambridge, on 'An Electric Planet?'. On 27 I spoke at Warwick Business School on 'Energy Policy and Regulation: Future Challenges'. On 7 June, in the opening plenary of the annual conference of the International Association for Energy Economics in Rio de Janeiro, I pointed 'Toward Real Energy Economics'.

The paperback edition of my latest book, Keeping The Lights On: Towards Sustainable Electricity, is out now.
