The US energy sector is facing unprecedented challenges like unpredictable government policies and regulations, growing competition, the aging workforce, modernizing grid infrastructure, and cyber-attacks. The target and policy measures agreed by the governments of many countries to reduce CHG emissions are exerting pressure to move away from fossil fuel consumption.
