Why Every Energy Company Needs a Voice in Washington
Description
Ryan Walker from Shumaker Advisors joins us to discuss how energy companies can navigate Washington politics and policy changes that directly impact their business operations and profitability.
• Pro-energy administration doesn't automatically mean better business conditions for all energy companies
• Budget reconciliation process currently threatens tax credits established under the Inflation Reduction Act
• Tariffs are being used as negotiating tools that affect energy supply chains and costs
• Companies should engage proactively with policy rather than reacting to crises
• Bipartisan engagement is essential—energy policy affects and concerns both political parties
• Government affairs support can function as a "fractional" team for companies without in-house expertise
• Energy policy has become increasingly politicized, creating volatility for long-term business planning
• Policy makers often "don't know what they don't know" about energy industry realities
