We are pleased to announce that The Wall Street Journal's Rebecca Elliott will be joining the Business Desk as an energy reporter based in New York.
Rebecca has been covering Tesla for over three years. Previously, he was an energy reporter for the Houston-based Journal for almost three years, where he covered the shale boom and its impact on the industry and economy.
In addition to covering the evolving operations of fossil fuel producers, Rebecca will explore other aspects of the energy transition, including the exploration of the minerals, elements, and technologies on which the transition depends. She and Ivan Penn would make a dynamic team.
Rebecca is a great storyteller, both in conception and execution. “I like business stories that put people first,” she says. She is curious and energetic. She understands business and its economic ecosystem. Her energy-related research in Texas was notable for exploring why the hydraulic fracturing industry has not lived up to expectations, despite the hype. And she showed her knack for covering Tesla and shedding light on its highly opaque workings.
Colleagues at the Times who have worked with Rebecca at the Journal and the Houston Chronicle say they are excited to reunite with her. And we're excited for the great journalism she will bring to her readers.
Please welcome her.
