The Myth was comforting. It provided a story of swift, righteous progress that didn’t require hard decisions or inconvenient partnerships. The Myth has real consequences! Today we are faced with #climate #policy commitments that may take a decade or more to replace with sensible, pragmatic solutions. That’s why we need to understand The Myth—because it defines and will continue to define both legacy policy and legacy mindsets. ? Read on in this #bothtrue to fully understand The Myth. ? https://lnkd.in/gfYmcbtN

#TheMoment exists only because The Myth came first—the Myth of an Easy #EnergyTransition. Put forward by well-intentioned optimists, the Myth sold half the country on the idea that (a) #emissions would drop quickly, driven by #policy and the resulting technological breakthroughs, and therefore (b) there would be a relatively painless and eminently affordable transition to zero #greenhousegas emissions! The Myth held sway for over a decade. But in The Moment, The Myth is unraveling. Read on in this #bothtrue. #energyfuture #leadership

A nice shortcut for how the world sees you: Check out the “Thank You for Smoking” trailer. When you sit down with a community member or regulator, there is a 50-50 chance that they see you as the #oilandgas equivalent of a smooth-talking, story-twisting, wildly successful tobacco lobbyist. Furthermore, anyone you identify as a credible spokesperson for your company…the local worker, the academic who led the study, the retired elected leader from the district…gets a very short window before they, too, are reclassified. They quickly, like you, are identified as “a shill for the industry.” Read on in this #bothtrue for four strategic ways industry #leaders can act in this reality. https://lnkd.in/dQFc5X5a
