“One does not need to be interested specifically in utilities or the energy industry at large to appreciate this book-length reportage….If you were a business leader having to choose between the latest self-help pablum that populates much of the literature about how corporations work and California Burning, you certainly should choose the latter.” — AMERICAN AFFAIRS JOURNAL

“Diligent reporting and a clear focus make this a must-read for anyone interested in the future of energy.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“A compelling and heart-wrenching study.” — KIRKUS REVIEWS

“California Burning most comprehensively puts the meat on the bone, told with a style not unlike The Smartest Guys in the Room, about the Enron collapse, or even Ida Tarbell’s History of the Standard Oil Company, instrumental in curtailing the power of John D Rockefeller.” — FINANCIAL TIMES
