IDC Energy Insights today announced that two of its analysts, Jill Feblowitz and Dean Chuang, have been listed among the most visible U.S. influencers within the energy industry according to Text100's Digital Index: Energy. The study evaluated the key energy players amongst politicians, journalists, and analysts to find the most influential members of each group based on social and traditional media prominence.

Based on the report, clean energy and renewable energy sources were a key topic for energy analysts, accounting for almost 60 percent of coverage. The study also found that analyst coverage focused on more progressive energy issues than politicians or journalists, with nuclear energy, electric vehicles, energy storage and biofuels among the top areas of focus.
