Energy companies are now receiving competing demands from two levels of government at the same time, each advancing a different view of the public interest.
Our CEO, Sarah E. Hunt, breaks down what that impossible position means for the broader investment environment and why it can't continue.

State-level bans on climate systems engineering aren't a settled political position - they're a symptom of a governance vacuum.
If you fill that vacuum with monitoring and transparency, opinions change quickly. Republicans support oversight by an 8-to-1 margin. Support for ocean alkalinity research sits at 79%. The one binding commitment in the Paris Agreement isn't emissions targets, it's transparency and accurate reporting.

The Bluepoint dispute isn't really about offshore wind. Our CEO, Sarah E. Hunt, argues it's about something more fundamental: whether government agreements retain their value when political priorities shift.

"I'm not going to fight over whether nuclear or wind or solar or natural gas is the best form of electricity. We need to build all of it that is feasible."

The goal isn't ideology, it's supply diversity, energy security, and winning.

Not a hypothetical.

A significant amount of American home security systems and internet activity is stored on servers in China. This isn't a tech problem. It's an energy infrastructure problem. And building more is one of the most direct national security arguments we have.

The conversations have to happen somewhere. The Rainey Center is making sure they do.

How do we build what America needs to win the AI arms race with China?

"You may not be crazy about wind and solar, but your grandchildren will hate being serfs to the Chinese Communist Party."

Electrons aren't red or blue. We need every single one we can get.

"We need as many electrons as we can get - as quickly as we can get them."

That means building transmission. Building generation. Building data centers. Building the roads to support it all. The urgency is real, and right now, regulatory roadblocks are standing in the way.

"Electrons aren't red or blue. We need to build it all." Sarah E. Hunt, Rainey Center President

The debate over which energy sources "count" has become so politically charged that we've lost sight of the actual goal. America needs all of it - and we need it now.
