Listen in as industry veterans Jim Bennett and Ian Voparil discuss how these targets influence public perception, the allocation of government and private resources, and clarity of the path to market needed to secure investments in this next wave of offshore energy development.Drawing parallels with historic endeavors, like the U.S. Mission to the Moon and the Interstate Highway System, we investigate how goals, strategic planning, and standardization have historically paved the way for industry success.
