On the Loss of Harry Rowen

He has been a Director at EPRINC since 2007 and remained active pursing his research interests on China at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. More importantly, he is someone our Chairman Darius Gaskins and I have known, in and out of government, since the 1970’s. I recently had lunch with Harry and his wife Beverly at the faculty club at Stanford and, as always, he was optimistic, intellectually challenging, and full of interesting ideas. He was still writing a twice monthly blog on China. We will miss his intellectual contributions and, more importantly his friendship. We extend our condolences to his wife Beverly and his entire family. Please see the obituary on Harry in the Washington Post here.

On a very sad note, EPRINC lost an old friend on November 12th. Henry (Harry to his friends) Rowen passed away in Palo Alto at the age of 90.

Dominick Blue

Distinguished Fellow

Dominick Blue is a Distinguished Fellow at the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRINC), where his research focuses on energy resilience, reliability, and the secure integration of emerging technologies into the power sector. His current work examines the intersection of advanced computing, infrastructure planning, and national energy security.
Dominick’s research portfolio includes analysis of AI and data center electricity demand-forecasting regional load growth, reliability implications, siting dynamics, and market coordination. He also leads studies on grid modernization and energy security, assessing resilience investments, interconnection constraints, and federal–state coordination under higher load scenarios. His additional work explores the revival of the U.S. nuclear sector, financing and licensing pathways for advanced reactors, and rebuilding domestic manufacturing capacity to support the nuclear supply chain.
Further research areas include gas-to-power infrastructure, pipeline and turbine capacity, and the role of gas in maintaining reliability within a diversified generation mix. Across these topics, Dominick focuses on translating complex technical findings into accessible policy insights for decision-makers at DOE, FERC, and state regulatory agencies.
Before joining EPRINC, Dominick held senior leadership roles in infrastructure, technology, and risk management, including Managing Partner and Director of Client Innovation for private investment and global critical infrastructure firms, respectively. A former U.S. Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer Two in CBRN Defense, he brings a mission-driven perspective to energy resilience and safety. He holds a Masters of Business from the University of Southern California and has completed graduate studies in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, with research interests in AI systems, resilient infrastructure, and energy transition security.
