Portrait of Brad Plumer

Brad Plumer

I write about the policies and innovations that governments, companies and people are pursuing to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I report on a wide range of energy technologies including electric grids, renewable energy, nuclear power, geothermal, carbon capture, hydrogen, electric vehicles and much more. I’m also following the ups and downs of the changing energy landscape in the United States.

I have covered climate change and energy for more than a decade, writing about everything from the science of melting ice sheets to the economic effects of America’s fracking boom. I joined The Times in 2017 and was previously a reporter at Vox, The Washington Post and The New Republic.

As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism Handbook. I do not accept gifts, money or favors from anyone who might figure into my reporting. I don’t make political donations.

I want my stories to be fair and accurate, and I always try to keep an open mind about the issues I’m writing about. If I do make a mistake, I want to correct it quickly. I always identify myself as a reporter for The Times in news-related conversations and I seek to give the subjects of my stories the opportunity to comment and share their views.
