From the industrial revolution to the modern day, energy has propelled us farther than ever before. But currently the energy industry is going through a sea change that is leaving leaders to adapt, and in some cases, reinvent their business models. How will Energy's greats make profits while reducing dependence on oil, caring for the environment and preparing for the future? We answer those questions and more in a though provoking discussion with the greatest leaders in energy.

In this episode we explore the following leadership themes:

-Innovating to reduce our dependence on foreign oil
-Stabilizing an industry that can be volatile
-Aligning global interests
