Energy industries encompass a broad group of sectors – oil and natural gas, coal, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal etc. Each of these industries contain very different types of organizations, and what constitutes risk in wind projects is far different than in nuclear.But they all share a similar challenge; to produce more energy at a lower cost with fewer emissions.
