  1. Fighting Fire In California

    That's me flying over Mt. Palomar Observatory in San Diego County. Visibility was at a premium that day, but we saved it.

  5. Why Canada Must Double Down on Energy Production

The title says it all: “Maximizing Canadian oil production and exports over the medium-term could help reduce CO2 emissions for the long-term.”
