There is no question that decision makers in the energy industry are working in an age characterized by complexity, especially when balancing global trends to ensure cleaner energy solutions with an increase in overall energy demand along with security issues. As such, investments in alternate forms of energy, including solar, wind, and hydrogen, have been escalated, while traditional forms of energy production are maintained to ensure stability. Recent geopolitical issues have heightened the urgency to secure energy independence. Indeed, decision makers at all levels of the energy sector recognize that any shift in these traditionally held values must be measured in order to minimize economic stability issues. Indeed, recent commentary suggests that decisions made at present will inform not only such issues as climate change but also global economic stability generations into the future.
