Reducing consumption, increasing efficiency, and minimizing environmental harm is the world’s shared energy goal. However, the societal pressures and F.E.R.C. regulatory standards don’t square perfectly with cost effectiveness nor supply availability. Projects focused on clean and renewable energy development hold great potential for the future, but at present are expensive and working with incomplete sciences. In a world where energy demand is rising, we’re still very much dependent on Oil & Gas resources as the alternative fuel technologies are yet equipped to replace them. Green construction, smart grids and smart meters, as well as, solar receptors, hybrid cars, and wind turbines are fabulous technological improvements and will be followed by even greater game changers over the next two decades. Of course, the driver of these incredibly important advances, as well as the mainstay Oil & Gas industrials, will be people. Engineers, scientists, consultants, government officials, and technologists, to name just a few, will cooperate in demanding, planning, and successfully executing on a sustainable energy program with limited emissions and Putnam/Travers is honored to play a role in this effort.
