A leading global cleantech podcast, exploring the stories that matter in clean energy since 2017. Every two weeks experts and industry leaders join Sylvia Leyva Martinez, solar and clean energy expert from Wood Mackenzie, for a deep dive into the technology, funding and policy that’s driving the energy transition forward.
Who’s innovating in the space? Who’s solving real world problems in clean energy and how are they doing it? Find out here.
We are getting a clearer picture of the Energy Department's direction under Secretary Perry.
In the four months after Perry requested special report on threats to baseload power plants, we saw an unprecedented number of prebuttals from groups worried that it would assist in President Trump's mission to revive the coal industry.
We finally got the end result last week. While some environmental groups didn't like the report, it was a straightforward account of the factors changing the grid -- not a booster for coal, or any other technology.
But there are still a lot of outstanding questions. Are emerging distributed resources discounted in the report? Where does climate change fit in? How does the report inform policy going forward?
This week, we’ve got a wide-ranging interview with Travis Fisher, a senior advisor at the Department of Energy, who took the lead on the study. He talks to us about the process, critical reactions, key findings, and recommendations for market designs.
