From transportation to water to energy infrastructure, the old ways of federal support are being subjected to intense scrutiny in an effort to “do more with less”. Options from infrastructure banks to alternative bonding approaches to innovative public private partnerships dominate the discussion today. Our staff has the knowledge and experience to decipher the options under discussion and to help leverage the new way of doing business to secure the stated mission.
Sustainable Energy
Alternative energy represents a key to sustainable growth. Our staff has worked on alternative energy policy when the issues were considered back burner policy issues. Today, alternative energy policy crosscuts all sectors of the economy, spurred on by a federal priority to serve as a catalyst to move promising technologies to commercialization. Whether it is energy production or finding ways to reduce energy consumption in the delivery of goods and services, our staff understands the mechanics of federal alternative energy policy and how the policy can be leveraged to enhance public and private sector performance. Among our focus of activities:
