Ex-Houston columnist begins Forbes blog on energy

Loren Steffy, who left the Houston Chronicle last month after nine years as its business columnist, has started a blog about energy on Forbes.com.

Steffy writes, “First, a little bit about me. I spent nine years as the business columnist for the Houston Chronicle, and when you cover business in the world’s energy capital, you devote a lot of column inches to energy issues.

“Prior to that, I spent 12 years at Bloomberg News as the Dallas bureau chief and a senior writer. I also wrote a book about the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster, Drowning in Oil: BP and the Reckless Pursuit of Profit. 

“I hope that this blog will be a hearty discussion of energy issues, from topics such as offshore drilling safety to public policy, from electricity deregulation to alternative energy. To kick things off, I’ve already loaded some headline grabs of articles I found interesting. For mobile readers, you can also find these and other articles of interest, including posts from this site, in my Flipboard magazine, Energy Insights. 

“As the blog grows and evolves, I hope you will share your thoughts and insights, too. Tips and topic suggestions are always welcome. So with that, let’s get to it.”
