Energy is the story of the decade. AI demand, grid buildouts, permitting fights, a manufacturing boom. All of it happening at once, and all of it moving fast.

People ask how we stay ahead of it at Positive Current. The answer is simple: we read the right reporters. Nine of them, every morning. Five cover Washington, where the policy gets made. Four cover the country, where the power gets built.

The Washington reads

Jennifer A. Dlouhy | Bloomberg News
Jennifer has deep sourcing on energy policy at the White House and the agencies. She has been on this beat since 2008, back when she covered it for the Houston Chronicle’s Washington bureau, and her scoops often move markets.
Follow her: @jendlouhyhc on X, and Bloomberg Green.

Josh Siegel | POLITICO
The fastest read on where energy legislation is actually headed. A Chicago kid who still subscribes to the print Chicago Tribune. His daily POLITICO Energy podcast is ten minutes well spent.
Follow him: @SiegelScribe on X, the POLITICO Energy podcast, and Morning Energy.

Ben Geman | Axios
Two decades covering energy in Washington at The Hill, National Journal, and E&E before becoming one of the first energy hires at Axios. His Axios Future of Energy newsletter is business-first coverage of deals, policy, and the AI power crunch in a quick daily read.

Rachel Frazin | The Hill
Straight, fast coverage of the Washington fights that hit energy companies’ bottom lines, from gasoline prices to permitting. South Florida native, Northwestern grad, and co-author of “Poisoning the Well,” on forever chemicals.

The national voices

Katherine Blunt | The Wall Street Journal
She wrote “California Burning,” reporting that made her a Pulitzer finalist and won a Gerald Loeb Award. She covered power and utilities for the Journal for seven years and now covers the AI and data center side of the same story. An Elon University grad who is headed back this spring (!) to give a commencement address.

Naureen Malik | Bloomberg News
Covers power markets, the grid, and the AI data center demand story from New York. She has covered energy for the better part of two decades, at Dow Jones and Barron’s before Bloomberg, and she is part of the Bloomberg team documenting the hidden power costs of AI.
Follow her: @naurtorious on X and Bloomberg Green Daily.

Keith Goldberg | Law360
An early warning system on the legal fights that hit energy projects: FERC, pipelines, litigation, dealmaking. Fifteen years at Law360 and a self-described “aging beer leaguer.” That’s rec hockey, for the uninitiated.
Follow him: @kdgscribe on X and Law360’s energy section.

Jennifer Hiller | The Wall Street Journal
The power grid, utilities, and the data center demand boom. This is the exact story we cover at Positive Current. A Houston native who came home to cover the grid from the Journal’s Houston bureau after a decade covering the Texas oil boom and bust.

So that’s our morning lineup. Who did we miss?
