Energy

Energy is the thread that weaves society together. From telecommunications to transportation, from iPods to irrigation systems, how we create, use and recycle energy has always been and will continue to be a significant public policy and business debate.

Yet it is a debate with constantly moving parts. New technologies evolve every day that identify new or improved ways to create or harness energy from a variety of sources. Meeting demand while ensuring environmental stewardship and economic prosperity requires a global outlook. Focusing only in our own backyard will no longer work.

The Energy and Environment practice at BGR has the industry expertise and the political know how to help our clients achieve their public policy goals. In today’s Washington, DC, success depends on what you know, not who you know.

With the tremendous focus on the environment and climate change, our experts understand that the varied debates going on in Washington, the states and globally cannot – and should not – occur in a vacuum. As such, we draw on our experience on Capitol Hill, at the White House and in the Federal agencies, such as Energy, EPA, Interior and USDA, to keep our fingers on the pulse of the debates from a legislative and regulatory perspective. Our team also has experience in non-traditional energy and environment related agencies, such as NASA, to provide our clients the true depth and breadth of these industries.

This dual expertise – industry knowledge and Washington know-how – allows us to provide our clients key insight and counsel on how best to navigate the policy waters in Washington, DC and the state capitals, while giving legislators and regulators the latest information on energy and environment so that they have the knowledge necessary to craft solid policies.

We also realize that the energy debate does not exist in its own tidy little box. Technology, international, trade and appropriations issues – just to name a few – can play significant roles in the future of our nation’s energy policy. As such, clients at BGR have access to the expertise and counsel of all our practice teams. Our policy experts are constantly sharing information and ideas in order to leverage all of the firm’s resources on behalf of our clients.

Energy is the link between economic prosperity, national security, environmental stewardship and domestic priorities, and BGR has the expertise and skill to successfully advocate our clients’ energy, environment and public policy goals before key policymakers.
