Bryce has dedicated his career to writing about energy, politics, and innovation for over three decades. He was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute from 2010 to 2019 and has contributed to numerous publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Bloomberg View, and the Washington Post. Bryce's work extends to other publications such as Texas Observer, Houston Press, and Christian Science Monitor.

Besides his journalistic ventures, Bryce was also the managing editor of the online magazine Energy Tribune from 2006 to 2010.

Bryce has also been an outspoken critic of the V-22 tiltrotor, or Osprey, for its safety and cost record.

Apart from his writing, Bryce is also a film producer; he produced a feature-length documentary titled "Juice: How Electricity Explains the World."
