I’m a journalist who covers energy and politics. I’m a stringer for The Economist, I write occasionally for Prospect magazine and I’m the editor of Petroleum Economist. I’ve also written for the Times, the Guardian, the Calgary Herald, Business New Europe, as well as for publications relating to energy, Russian affairs and literature. I am also contributor to Energy Future. I do some corporate work, including advisory, consultancy and public speaking.

I hold a PhD in Russian literature and an MA in East European studies, both from the University of London. My first degree, from Oxford University, was in Modern History. I speak, in ascending order of rustiness, English, Russian and French. I’ve lived in the UK, Canada and Russia.
That’s Somalia, by the way, and I’m the guy without an assault rifle.

hello – did send an email to your gmail account but it didn’t seem to get through ….
Dear Mr Brower
We note with great interest your recent article reviewing the film – a crude awakening.
We would very much like to talk to you about the flaws in the peak oil theory.
Our program is called counterpoint – part of our brief is to question current orthodoxies.
Could you spare 10 – 15 minutes for an interview with Abc radio national in Australia ?
( it’s a bit like BBC radio 4 ) http://www.abc.net.au/rn/
Due to the time difference, would a phone call one week day evening after 8.30 pm ( UK ) be a possibility ?
The interview would be pre recorded.
Thank you for considering this request
I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Ian Coombe
