Discussing the energy transition and how to power America's economy while also moving to carbon-free solutions. Why do you think your panel topic is critical in the oil and natural gas industry at this time? With customer demand changing and policy mandates increasing, it is vital that O&G and renewables work together to ensure no disruption to the comfort, safety or economic growth of our customers and the nation. How would you recommend that someone stays current on these issues, if they are interested or want to know more? I'm a big fan of podcasts. I would recommend Catalyst and The Carbon Copy from Canary Media and The Energy Gang from Greentech Media. Any great books or binge-worthy shows to recommend? I love Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I think the series is doing a great job of staying true to the original series, while also using modern CGI and storytelling to engage a new generation of fans (my kids).
