Sandy @ethree_inc It’s been really encouraging to see all the growing discussion around that issue. The industry has a bad record, opportunities to better
Tom at @BloombergNEF when I joined industry, it was very white and very male. In the last decade, I’ve seen more change in gender than in ethnicity. The industry has made less progress in ethnicity and with specific groups. Will initiatives be effective, and when do you try new?
Question: as surge of renewables enters grid, how will grid accommodate this growth. Will covid provide a opportunity for retiring fossil fuel plants because of low price?
Lauren @FERC I think there will be more market changes along the line in terms of resources that provide flexibility and can balance the grid when renewables are not online
Tom @BloombergNEF. Rooftop solar industry hit hard with shut down. Companies that have done well embraced idea of digital marketing. Thai is a forced adaptation that made them more efficient.
Tom @BloombergNEF . In terms of fossil fuels, US is thought of as land of abundance. but if we think of changes in Global oil makets in covid 19, the US has been exposed. 2020 has exposed abundance as a myth. The US is on the margin in cost of drilling (around $45)
Tom Rowlands-Rees: with stimulus - a lot of infrastructure investment potential. Without - a lifeline for coal. Shale market is moving in an interesting direction at this time.
Question: what is the impact of Covid on your work personally and how do you anticipate it delaying or accelerating tends already underway in energy industry? #DUEC20
