Energy Policy Interview Questions

15 energy policy interview questions shared by candidates

Many of our largest member companies, including in the tech, airline and biotech space, have committed to get to net-zero, often with aggressive timelines.

Ironically, while California has professed a vigorous commitment to carbon reduction, in reality these companies are having a much more difficult time getting their California fleets, campuses and facilities to decarbonize here than in states that are vigorously opposed to decarbonization.

How would you propose to assemble our related members, determine the right course of action, create and build a coalition, and work to secure changes in California to make it significantly easier for our members to decarbonize?

Sometimes we have to go to Sacramento and do policy advocacy on bills that we might think could be done better or we might personally disagree with; are you okay with going forward and being a soldier for the team, even though it's not the exact public policy you would personally prefer?
