Energy
The national conversation around energy is changing rapidly. As the United States has dramatically increased its production of hydrocarbons, the costs of renewable energy technologies have also declined sharply. We must now decide how to responsibly drive a transition toward a cleaner low-carbon energy mix while maintaining economic growth. The BPC Energy Team is focused on generating and advocating pragmatic clean energy policies through engagement with a broad set of stakeholders and experts from diverse political perspectives.

After a decade of reckless argument over the existence of the climate problem, we do not have time for a fact-free debate about climate solutions. Instead, the nation needs a Green ‘True’ Deal that allows government and industry to work together to decarbonize our economy by 2050.![]()

Our Work
The national conversation around energy is changing rapidly. As the United States has become energy independent, and as the impacts of climate change become ever more clear, we must now decide how we responsibly transition toward a cleaner energy mix, invest smartly in the next generation of energy technologies, and maintain economic growth.
