Policy In Action

Ground Softening Campaigns

We build public trust before conflict emerges. By grounding campaigns in local context and tested messaging, we connect with communities on the issues that matter most. Our work often starts months or years before a project is formally proposed—identifying trusted messengers, shaping early narratives, and building familiarity with next-generation energy technologies.

This proactive engagement prevents misinformation from taking root and creates a foundation of durable support where modern American power needs to be built.

Siting Campaigns

We lead state-level efforts to modernize siting policy, strengthen public alignment, and advance legislation that unlocks responsible deployment of advanced energy. These campaigns bridge industry, advocacy, and policymaker priorities, ensuring that the rules governing where and how projects can be built reflect today’s energy realities.

By aligning stakeholders and equipping coalitions with effective strategies, we help create policy frameworks that accelerate deployment while safeguarding community trust.

Down-Ballot Political Strategy

We help shape the decision-making environment from the ground up. From school boards and planning commissions to county supervisors and zoning boards, local leaders often determine whether projects succeed or fail. We support candidates and initiatives that create favorable conditions for deployment, while also tracking and mitigating political risks in key jurisdictions.

Our work ensures the advanced energy sector is not only present in national debates, but competitive where decisions that matter most actually get made.

Local Project Support

We design and run place-based campaigns that build coalitions, mobilize trusted local voices, and move projects from proposal to approval. Every campaign is tailored to the community it serves, combining stakeholder engagement, public communications, and grassroots organizing.

We help developers and partners earn permits and approvals—and, more importantly, the social license to operate—by demonstrating tangible local benefits and addressing community concerns head-on.

Field Support & Coalition Capacity

We bring campaign discipline to the nonprofit field, offering strategic advising, program design, and hands-on management to amplify coalition impact. Our work ranges from designing multi-state advocacy campaigns to strengthening internal systems for grassroots groups.

By pairing rigorous strategy with practical execution, we help mission-driven organizations punch above their weight and build staying power in the battles shaping America’s energy future.

Permitting & Opposition Research

We deliver the intelligence campaigns need to anticipate challenges, de-risk development, and counter organized opposition effectively. Our research spans local political landscapes, permitting pathways, and community sentiment, offering clients a clear-eyed view of both opportunities and risks.

By mapping opposition tactics and identifying potential allies, we equip campaigns to avoid pitfalls, streamline approvals, and maintain momentum in the face of resistance.

Narrative Development & Message Testing

We craft communications strategies rooted in research, equipping advocates with compelling, credible messages that resonate across audiences. From national polling to hyper-local focus groups, we identify what truly moves opinion and builds trust.

We then translate complex issues in modern American energy into narratives that connect—whether the audience is a legislator, a local landowner, or a skeptical neighbor—ensuring campaigns have the tools to engage with confidence and clarity.
