ICE Energy Breakfast - Fireside Chat with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Harold Hamm, Chairman of Continental Resources
Sponsored by Intercontinental Exchange

Standing at the pinnacle of the U.S. oil market and at the forefront of the pursuit of energy independence and zero-carbon energy, Texas has become both a critical part of America’s energy infrastructure, and a bellwether for the country’s response to global warming and its goal of net zero carbon emissions. As the governor of Texas, a state where a quarter of its electricity is from renewable sources, Governor Greg Abbott has been instrumental in managing through the growth in U.S. energy production, as well as the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into the state’s existing infrastructure. As an energy market pioneer, Harold Hamm, Chairman of Continental Resources, has been a long-time advocate for U.S. energy independence, and the investments he and his company made in the early 2000s helped turn that vision into a reality. Governor Abbott and Mr. Hamm are joined by ICE’s Stuart Williams to discuss the evolving energy market and some of the opportunities and pitfalls that states and companies can face as the world moves toward a more carbon neutral energy market.
