EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
America's energy companies occupy a unique position in the national economy — simultaneously essential infrastructure providers, major employers and focal points of the climate debate. This report examines how energy companies are navigating the transition to a lower-carbon economy while sustaining the investment and employment that communities depend on.
THE REPORT
The energy transition presents American companies with a strategic challenge of unusual complexity: how to manage the decline of legacy assets while investing in new technologies, satisfying investors with different time horizons and maintaining the political relationships that shape their regulatory environment.
For the communities where energy companies operate, the stakes are immediate and concrete. Jobs, tax revenues and local investment depend on decisions made in boardrooms and regulatory agencies far from the communities affected.
