Our Mission
To bring equity to the energy and infrastructure sectors by lobbying and advocating for sound policies that promote affordability, reliability, innovation, and sustainable development.
We bridge the knowledge and communication gap between communities + the energy sector. We enlighten communities with education and awareness about the evolving energy landscape; which empowers them with the knowledge they need to make informed energy decisions. We also create pathways and opportunities for energy organizations to inform, engage and partner with community.
Through strategic federal and state lobbying and advocacy, customized community engagement, and all-encompassing development strategies, we act as a bridge between industry and community to catalyze change.
Amidst a transitioning energy landscape, natural gas stands as a bridge fuel, offering a cleaner alternative to coal while complementing renewable sources, thus aligning with governmental carbon reduction targets.
The oil and gas industry is innovating, exploring carbon capture technologies, and diversifying into cleaner energy ventures.
Utilities are at the forefront of the transition to a low-carbon future, adapting to government mandates by integrating a mix of renewable sources into their grids and promoting energy efficiency to consumers.
Windmill farms emerge as a pivotal player, harnessing the power of wind to provide clean and sustainable electricity.
Tapping into the kinetic energy of water, hydroelectric power provides a reliable and renewable energy source.
Electronic vehicles (EVs) have surged in demand, driving a transformative shift in transportation and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
