Leaders must decide under extreme uncertainty:

• Federal, state, and municipal government policies and regulations change after every election and between elections.

• Innovations are global, with new entrants from China and Europe compounding the fast new product developments in the U.S.

• Energy pricing is volatile and subject to unpredictable geopolitical wars.

• Investments are facing headwinds due to changing bond rates, bank interest rates, import tariffs, and Federal Reserve policies.

• Social media and public relations campaigns funded by the fossil-fuel industry are whipping up opposition to clean technology projects.
