What is Energy Policy and why is it so important to promote clean energy innovation?  I had no idea how important energy policy was in the background of my day to day job supporting project decision making. From technologies like nuclear to carbon removals and beyond, there are several policies in place to help support their development further. Niko McMurry with Clear Path delivers insight on what energy policy is and why it is so important to promote the energy transition.

 
-Energy policy are sets of rules principles and guidelines, but how do we pull the policy makers together to create the ones best fit for goals
-Importance of Engineering Firms and Project Developers to help set the expectations around policy
-How current policy drives technology deployment
-How the upcoming election will shake up the current clean energy policies
-Supporting policy is the key to reduce emissions thorough innovative technologies
-Policy to address regulatory barriers
-Climate Policy vs. Energy Policy
-Energy policy to support national security along with reliable, affordable and clean energy production
