Senior Reporter | @TeamWetDogRobert Walton has spent 15 years covering policy, regulation and business in Washington, D.C., with a focus on the natural gas and electric utilities. In addition to a journalism degree from the University of South Carolina, he has a culinary diploma from the Art Institute of Washington and his documentary photography has been supported by the National Endowment of the Arts.
