The Precourt Institute for Energy is an important funding source for Stanford University’s energy, environment and climate programs. That program has received at least $80 million from its namesake, Jay Precourt. Precourt has had a lucrative career in the oil and gas business.

Precourt holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in petroleum engineering from Stanford and an MBA from Harvard University. He has spent his career in the energy industry, holding executive positions at Hamilton Oil Co., Tejas Gas Corp., Shell Oil Co. (which acquired Tejas in 1997), ScissorTail Energy LLC and, most recently, Hermes Consolidated Inc., a gatherer, transporter and processor of crude oil and refined products. He has served as chair and chief executive officer of Hermes since 1999. He also serves as a director of the Halliburton and Apache corporations.

Mark Z. Jacobson, a prominent climate scientist from Stanford has famously been promoting a 100% renewable energy solution with a state by state modeling approach. He is a Senior Fellow, Precourt Institute for Energy.http://atomicinsights.com/stanford-climate-scientists-promote-100-renewable-revolution-using-fossil-fuel-money/
