Welcome to Power Corrupts - Your 7-Part Investigation Starts Now

Welcome to the real story behind America's utility corruption crisis.

Thank you for subscribing to this exclusive 7-part series featuring insights from my research for "Power Corrupts: Cleaning Up America's Biggest Industry."

What You’ll Discover

Think of this newsletter as your preview of a much larger investigation—over five weeks, you'll get key stories that document utility corruption cases spanning decades and states.

You'll discover how utility executives bribe politicians for billion-dollar bailouts while deliberately blocking clean energy innovations, meet the CEOs, lobbyists, and politicians who think democracy is for sale—plus the ordinary citizens who fought back—and witness the dramatic consequences: FBI raids at dawn, death threats over coffee, corporate thugs stalking elderly volunteers, and suicides by indicted officials.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, you'll receive a new installment revealing how this corruption rigs your electricity bills, blocks clean energy, and threatens the foundations of our democracy. The first installment arrived Thursday, June 12 (READ). Fair warning: you'll never look at your utility company the same way again. And if these revelations leave you wanting to know more about utility corruption, the full investigation awaits when Power Corrupts: Cleaning Up America’s Biggest Industry publishes this June 26.

Preorder the book now to ensure you get the complete story as soon as it's available—and to help send a message that readers are hungry for this kind of accountability journalism.
