Bibliography

In addition to his books and other publications discussed above, Romm has written or co-written numerous articles and lectured widely on global warming effects and solutions, clean technologies, business and environment issues and distributed energy. His articles have been published in Nature, U. S. News and World Report, Technology Review, Issues in Science and Technology, Forbes, Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, Science, Scientific American, Physics Today, Physics World, The Economist, Time magazine and Businessweek, among other publications.

Romm and Prof. Andrew A. Frank co-authored "Hybrid Vehicles Gain Traction", published in the April 2006 issue of Scientific American, in which they argue that hybrid cars that can be plugged into the electric grid, Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, will be introduced in the next few years and will become standard in the automobile industry in the coming decades. The same year, Romm published "California's Hydrogen Highway Reconsidered" in Golden Gate University Law Review. In March 2007, Romm co-authored an article entitled "Plugging into the Grid: How Plug-In Hybrid-Electric Vehicles Can Help Break America's Oil Addiction and Slow Global Warming" in the Progressive Policy Institute's Policy Report newsletter. Romm contributed a chapter to the 2007 book Energy and American Society: Thirteen Myths, disputing that "The Hydrogen Economy Is a Panacea". In June 2008, Nature.com published an article by Romm entitled "Cleaning up on Carbon", in which he advocated "accelerating the deployment of the 11 wedges so they begin to take effect in 2015 and are completely operational in much less time than originally modelled by Socolow and Pacala." In 2011, Nature published Romm's article Desertification: The next dust bowl, exploring the dangers to the world economy and populations of droughts that are projected to be caused by climate change.
