Our Favorite Govt Agency, EIA, Gets New Leader: Dr. Linda Capuano

Dr. Linda Capuano
Our favorite government agency, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), now has a new Administrator. President Trump has appointed Dr. Linda Capuano to the position. She began her new job yesterday. Capuano was, until her new job at EIA, a fellow in energy technology at the Baker Institute Center for Energy Studies. She was also on the faculty of Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business, where she taught operations strategy for the executive MBA program. EIA is about as non-political of an agency as you can find in Washington, DC. We're sure she will keep it that way. EIA needs to be apolitical because they publish critical information on energy--both its production and use. There's no room in cold, hard data for political gamesmanship. We religiously follow the EIA's monthly Drilling Productivity Report (see the most recent edition here: EIA Dec ’17 Drilling Report: New Year to Begin in Record Territory). Please join us in welcoming Dr. Capuano to this very important position...
