The social community for the energy workforce announces top voices across the sector The people who made this list have demonstrated a commitment to equity, the environment and the emerging energy economy.” - Katie Mehnert, CEO and Founder, ALLY HOUSTON (PRWEB) December 15, 2020 On the heels of LinkedIn’s Top Voices 2020, ALLY, the social community for the energy transition, announces the year’s top voices from across the energy sector.
“The industry that powers all others is filled with exceptional leaders who are introducing new, challenging ideas and sparking important conversations,” says ALLY CEO Katie Mehnert. “The people who made this list have demonstrated a commitment to equity, the environment and the emerging energy economy.”
In a rare silver lining, the environment seemed to benefit from the onset of lockdowns across the globe. March brought viral news stories about venetian canals clearing, animals reclaiming boulevards and nature bouncing back.
“People were certainly intrigued and amused, and you could see mountains from New Delhi and from Los Angeles that you couldn’t before,” chuckled Daniel Kammen, director of UC Berkeley’s Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory.
In addition to conducting research and teaching at UC Berkeley, Kammen previously served in the U.S. Science Envoy program to the U.S. Department of State, resigning (quite pointedly) after President Donald Trump’s response to the Charlottesville protests.
