Ideas Worth Sharing:
- “When everyone is moving into the unknown, the important thing to do is build community and share stories and learn from others' mistakes or the things that went well.” - Dan Roberts
- “It’s critical that businesses start looking closely at their energy costs because they will be blown away by how much they consistently go up and will continue to go up in a very unpredictable way. It is very hard to run our businesses when one of the biggest cost inputs may be going up 3% this year, 20% next year, and 50% the year after that.” - Gareth Evans
- “Energy sovereignty is going to be something that is stifling growth in some cases, let alone impacting some business's ability to operate.” - Dan Roberts
