A great discussion with a true industry leader, Chuck McConnell. He is the Executive Director Center for Carbon Management in Energy and an Advisory Board Member at the Carbon Neutral Coalition. Both organizations are critical for forward thinking and planning for the future of energy.
A little inside baseball, I had the pleasure of being on a panel discussion with Chuck at the Strategic Investor Conference hosted by John Maudlin and Mauldin Economics. Peter Snell and Jay Young were also on the panel, and we had a great talk about the future of energy.
Also, please follow Chuck on LinkedIn HERE.
We would also like to shout out to Raconteur as an episode sponsor.
Thank you Chuck for your industry leadership and stopping by the podcast – Stu
