These top lawyers give tips on conducting an energy audit, completing a risk analysis for an investment in alternative energy, and evaluating how new energy initiatives can fit into the stage of the client's business. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for achieving community buy-in and support of renewable energy projects through media coverage and educational programs.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
