1st Tuesdays VT Author Series

Jon will speak about his recent book Gaslight: The Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the Fight for America’s Energy Future (Island Press, 2024). Vivid and suspenseful, gut-wrenching and insightful, Gaslight is more than the chronicle of a turning point in American history. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the dark, overlooked story of America’s “favorite fossil fuel,” and the immense future stakes of the energy choices we face today.
