Climate hawks argue that nothing must stop the significant expansion of utility-scale renewables, particularly wind and solar generation.
But do you know what they want for their energy futures? Because your vision needs to be founded on their aspirations (not just yours) for them to see it as credible and compelling. This is the hidden law of energy leadership today: To effectively communicate, speak with your stakeholders, not at or past them.
As oil and gas leaders, we can’t build a future that we can’t imagine. And as civic leaders, we can’t build a future we can’t articulate to stakeholders. Civic energy leadership requires two components: (1) painting a compelling and inclusive vision of the energy future and (2) filling in that vision with the essential details of how to get it done. Both articulating a vision and making that vision happen are what we’ll be focusing on in the 2024 Both True editions and in the Energy Thinks podcast, returning with Season 7 this month.
Some executives think that scaring the public is the only way to educate them. It’s somewhat understandable—and totally counterproductive. In this Both True, I offer you an alternative to the “competing apocalypses” school of thought.
Here are actionable recommendations to manage your risk and take advantage of the opportunities to build a credible carbon offset strategy.
In the first of this two-part series, I explore the latest in the ever-evolving carbon offset landscape and voluntary carbon market.
Hear Adamantine CEO Tisha Schuller on the Let’s Clear the Air podcast with Adam Murray and Andrew Parker.
In this Both True, I cover how you can inoculate your sustainability commitments against charges that they “require substantiation” or even are “bogus.”
Oil and gas is being squeezed by climate activists and ESG stakeholder expectations on one side and a loud anti-ESG, anti-woke capitalism movement on the other. What’s the smart path forward? That’s what Tisha Schuller’s new talk reveals.
Carbon offsets can be a useful component of a company’s decarbonization strategy. If done poorly, carbon offsets can undermine the efficacy and integrity of a company’s decarbonization efforts and leadership.
