The Host - David Biello

Beyond the Light Switch is hosted by David Biello, energy and environment editor at Scientific American. Winner of the 2009 Earth Journalism Award, David has been reporting on energy and the environment since 1999.

In Beyond the Light Switch, David acts as our tour guide while examining the knot of political, social, technological and environmental issues he encounters while confronting the many uncertainties of America's energy future.

Join David as he travels to a first-of-its-kind coal plant in West Virginia, gas wells in Pennsylvania and Texas, inside a nuclear reactor under construction in Tennessee, to wind farms along the Hood River Valley in Oregon, to the shores of Cape Cod, and (quite literally) beyond.
