The energy industry – from fossil fuels to clean power – is poised for major change. From US president-elect Donald Trump's support for oil and gas to Big Tech's rising support for nuclear power to the recent UN talks on climate change in Baku, Azerbaijan, Cipher News executive editor and longtime energy reporter Amy Harder joins Rapid Response to cut through the noise, breaking down the most important lessons and insights. Plus: how AI really impacts energy use, Elon Musk's evolving role in EV adoption, China's clean-energy priorities, and more.

The climate talks agreed a $300 billion finance deal. Not everyone is happy about it.The COP29 climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan, finally ended around 5.30am on Sunday morning, almost 36 hours after they had been originally scheduled to close. The good news was that the negotiators representing about 200 countries agreed a deal on climate finance: flows of capital from developed countries to low and middle-income countries, to help them cut emissions and adapt to a warming world. The bad news was that many countries felt the amount agreed – $300 billion a year by 2035 – was much too low. India and other developing countries had suggested a sum of $1 trillion or more a year was needed.Ed Crooks, now back home after attending the talks, is joined by Energy Gang regulars Melissa Lott, the partner general manager for energy technologies at Microsoft, and Amy Harder, the executive editor of the energy and climate news service Cipher. They discuss the outcomes from the negotiations: what was agreed and what it means. We also hear from Amy's colleague Anca Gurzu, who was following all the action at the talks in Baku.This conference was billed as “the finance COP”. If it had failed to agree a deal on finance, that would have been disastrous for the international effort to tackle climate change through the UNFCCC. But with a deal offering so much less than the amounts that developing countries had been hoping for, where does COP29 mean for the global energy transition? And as we look ahead to the crucial COP30 in Brazil a year from now, can we expect the countries of the world to commit to more ambitious goals for cutting emissions?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1. Amy's upbringing on a cattle ranch in eastern Washington State and how this developed her understanding of energy and climate change, as well as how her interest in journalism first developed 2. What Cipher is, when it was founded, and the problem it's trying to solve 3. What Amy thinks about the state of AI as a tool or supplement for clean technologies 4. The misconceptions within the energy transition debate that stand out to Amy, specifically the questions that need to be further explored by different groups that care about the energy transition  

“Carbon is the trash of the climate era”. Amy Harder explains climate change and climate tech so anyone can understand it. Deciphering those complexities is the overarching mission at Cipher News, where she is the Executive Editor. We invited her to our latest episode of our podcast 'The Switch – to a green economy', to talk about, among other things, why knowledge about the energy transition needs to increase. One major reason, she said, is that we need to be able to get clear and concise answers to questions and concerns around the roll-out of clean energy.

Amy Harder, the founding Executive Editor of the climate policy publication Cipher News, expressed her surprise with several positive outcomes from the recent 28th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28) in Dubai during a special episode of “Environmental Insights: Discussions on Policy and Practice from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.” The podcast is produced by the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.

The gang assess the outcome of the climate talks in Dubai.This year's COP went to overtime, as countries argued over the wording of the concluding statement. They had to carry on the negotiations all through the night to do it, but finally they emerged with what was described as a “historic” agreement. For the first time, the need to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels has been put on the record in a concluding statement from a COP.In our final show on COP28, the Energy Gang look back on the last two weeks of negotiations and debates, and as the dust starts to clear, they assess what it all means. Ed Crooks was present at the talks in Dubai, as were regular guests Dr Melissa Lott of Columbia University and Amy Harder of Cipher, and together they tackle one key question: can we call the conference a success? Some people have been hailing it as a triumph, others say it's a disaster. Does the truth perhaps lie somewhere in the middle? Or is it not that simple?The Global Stocktake of climate action, agreed at COP28, calls for a “just, orderly and equitable” transition, “accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050”. Amy and Melissa explain what that means, and how it could change the world.Find all of our coverage of COP28 at http://www.woodmac.com/podcasts/the-energy-gangSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kicking off Madam Policy's COP28 in 8 series is Founding Executive Editor of Cipher and top national energy and climate reporter Amy Harder. Amy joins hosts Dee Martin and Carolyn Spector from Dubai for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, better known as COP28. Get the inside scoop from Amy about hot topics from methane reduction measures, the “investment gap,” the role of the oil and gas industry and more in this special episode of Madam Policy! Per usual, Amy is covering it all. Tune into this fast-paced episode and come back for the other quick convos that are part of our COP28 in 8 series.   ** The COP28 in 8 series is a mini episode series where we have 8 minute conversations with the women involved with COP28 in Dubai.   **This was recorded on December 5th, 2023 and events may have changed since this recording.

COP28's Climate Innovation Forum brought together the world's technology leaders in a series of talks exploring cutting-edge solutions to tackle the global climate crisis, including artificial intelligence (AI), satellite technology, big data, clean energy, industrial decarbonization, low-carbon hydrogen, and more. Attending the Climate Innovation Forum were key leaders in the technology and sustainability fields, including: His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, and Director General of The Prime Minister's Office.Bill Gates, Founder of Breakthrough Energy and Co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Arvind Krishna, the CEO of IBM, Kate Brandt, Chief Sustainability Officer of Google.Elizabeth Gaines, Non-Executive Director and Global Green Ambassador at Fortescue Metals. Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President at Microsoft along with several innovative startups from Breakthrough Energy Ventures. “Developing and scaling the solutions necessary to support the global energy transition, at the speed required to meet our goals, will require unprecedented cross-sector collaboration,” Adnan Amin, the CEO of COP28 said, “it is an honor to bring together the best and the brightest in the technology world to rally around the shared objective of driving climate progress. We must ensure that the decisions made here at COP28 are translated into practical real-world action and technology will play a pivotal role in making sure that happens.” Convening in Dubai, a city which itself is one of the world's leading technology hubs, the Climate Innovation Forum opened with an address by His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, and Director General of The Prime Minister's Office. His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, said: “We are confronted with two distinct paths—one of hope and opportunity and the other in potential catastrophe. The potential for a technological revolution underpinned by environmental responsibility could lead us to a carbon-neutral future, reshaping our utilization of Earth's resources to achieve progress and preservation simultaneously.” That session was followed by a fireside between His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, and Director General of The Prime Minister's Office and Aravind Krisha, CEO of IBM where they spoke about a broad range of topics including the applications of AI and Quantum Computing and how they can help solve climate change issues, especially those facing the Global South. Kate Brandt, Google's Chief Sustainability Officer then spoke about moonshot thinking for climate action and highlighted an example where AI is currently being piloted with the Chilean government for grid management. Bill Gates, Founder of Breakthrough Energy and Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, closed the event with a fireside discussion alongside Eric Toone, Chief Technology Officer, Breakthrough Energy & Managing Partner, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Amy Harder, Executive Editor of Cipher. During the session, they discussed the opportunities for scaling climate solution with Bill Gates saying: “Bringing down the green premium is key for the widespread adoption of climate technologies”. During the event, both Google and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst also revealed new projects that strive to accelerate the development of clean technologies in support of the green energy transition. Project InnerSpace and Google announced GeoMap™, a first of its kind geothermal exploration tool, which is focused on expanding the use and adoption of geothermal energy worldwide. Breakthrough Energy Catalyst spotlighted its newly announced projects that will accelerate the deployment of innovative clean energy technologies.These include Ørsted's FlagshipONE, the largest e-Methanol project in Europe, Energy Dome's Ottana CO2 Battery Project, a first-of-a-kind long duration energy storage project, and Infinium's Project Roadrunner, a commercial-scale Power-to-Liquids eFuels facility. The conference highlighted the importance of Technology & Innovation as critical enablers and accelerators across sectors and emphasized the need for wide scale deployment and adoption to deliver significant impact in reducing or removing Greenhouse gas GHG emissions and bring scaling timelines closer. Challenges around the “green premium”, the cost of implementing climate solutions were raised as well the challenges around the sustainability of these technologies themselves, especially the increasing carbon footprints that data centers need to enable AI.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/6022096/advertisement

Part one of our coverage live from the conferenceEd Crooks is joined by Amy Harder & Bill Spindle from Cipher, the publication supported by Breakthrough Energy – the clean energy network founded by Bill Gates. Amy and Bill have been in Dubai since the start of the conference, and they analyze the big stories to come out of the first few days.The loss and damage fund is the main focus; a few hundred million has been pledged to help developing nations deal with the impacts of climate change, but it's a drop in the bucket for what's needed.Also, COP28 itself: there's debate on the effectiveness of these talks every year, but there have been positive stories already. The tripling of renewables, pledges on methane reduction and loss and damages have all been high on the agenda.Listen in as we kick off our special podcast series, live from Expo City in Dubai at COP28.Follow us on the socials – we're @theenergygangSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The team behind the top global affairs podcast, One Decision, introduces "Power Decisions," a new energy series that explores the world's energy sources and the politics and power behind the clean transition. This debut episode hosted by CNBC's Mandy Drury examines the globe's next energy conference—COP28 which has been plagued by controversy surrounding the appointment of UAE oil executive Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber to lead the summit and the conference leadership's attempts to sweep undesirable narratives under the carpet including accusations of greenwashing Al Jaber's image and record through Wikipedia and hundreds of fake social media accounts. Drury is joined by journalists Damian Carrington, Environmental Editor for The Guardian, Zack Colman, Climate reporter for POLITICO and Amy Harder, Executive Editor for Cipher News, a publication supported by Breakthrough Energy to discuss what to expect, whether the summit can succeed as a forum to effectively address climate change and if an oil-rich nation should lead the climate change fight.

The International Energy Agency last month held its first ever summit to discuss Critical Minerals and Clean Energy. It was attended by more than 50 countries, which came together to discuss ways to secure the critical minerals that are needed to make the transition to low-carbon energy.These metals, whether it's copper wiring or steel in a wind turbine or lithium in an EV battery, are in high demand, and this demand is only going to increase over the next decade. New mines for these metals can take a long time to construct. One solution to this problem that's been getting a lot of attention recently is sea-bed mining.It is a potentially significant new source of supply for some of these critical metals, but it's also highly controversial because of the damage it would do to deep water ocean ecosystems.On the Energy Gang this week, Ed Crooks is back in the host chair after a break, and joined by regular Amy Harder, Executive Editor of Cipher Magazine, the publication supported by Breakthrough Energy.Amy recently interviewed the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre, in New York, and she details the main takeaways from that conversation on the show today. Some Norwegian lawmakers have called for a 10-year delay to deep-sea mining plans, so that the environmental impacts of can be studied.Dr Melissa Lott, Director of Columbia University's Center On Global Energy Policy, is also on the show, and she outlines just what these environmental impacts are.The demand for critical minerals could necessitate offshore mining, but is it an essential step to take?Recycling is another option - a study from the International Council on Clean Transportation said that at the end of last year, US plants had the capacity to produce about 100,000 tons a year of recycled battery materials. Total capacity of the plants that have been announced is about 650,000 tons a year.Even that is still only enough for about 1.3 million EVs a year, which might be roughly the number that will be sold in the US this year. So as the market grows, we are going to need a lot more.Plus, the IEA published a report last week called the ‘Net Zero Roadmap', which was optimistic about global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. It said that achieving that goal is still possible, but how feasible is it? What role will carbon capture play in hitting the target?Subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode, out every second Friday, and follow the conversation on X – we're @theenergygang.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the last Energy Gang we looked at the impact of record temperatures on the energy sector. This week, we discuss another impact of climate change: its effect on human psychology. We discuss how the way we talk about global warming affects how we respond to it.A recent study in the journal Global Environmental Change argued that scientists and media organizations need to rethink the way they talk about climate change. The study's authors called on the media to emphasise potential solutions to rising temperatures, rather than focusing solely on the dire consequences. This shift towards solutions-oriented thinking could help prevent a pervasive sense of fatalism: the idea that humans can do nothing useful to mitigate climate change. Doomerism, as it is sometimes known, seems to be creeping more and more into the conversation. Is it an inevitable consequence of the way we talk about climate change? One point that researchers have found is that using the term “climate emergency” reduced the perceived credibility of news reports, and the likelihood that people would take action, compared to using “climate change.” News about climate impacts leads to increased fear and decreased hope, relative to the impact of news about climate action. Are the media inadvertently encouraging people to believe that our civilization is fated to end in disaster, and we are all going to burn if we live long enough, so we might as well just live for the moment and enjoy the ride any way we can?To discuss the impact of climate doomerism on our mental health, and more, host Ed Crooks is joined by Dr Melissa Lott, Director of the Centre on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. Melissa argues that the evidence shows there are in fact workable solutions to climate change, and that “everything we do to try to reduce emissions to any degree, already protects health.” So doomerism is not based on reality.Also on this episode is Amy Harder, who is the Executive Editor of Cipher, a news outlet supported by Breakthrough Energy, the climate investing and policy organization backed by Bill Gates. She has some new polling data on public attitudes to climate change, published by Pew Research.Looking for solutions led us to one answer to emissions that has made the news in recent weeks: carbon utilization. Amy's outlet Cipher recently published a story looking at the debate in the US over tax breaks for carbon capture, and what happens to the carbon dioxide after it is captured. Amy explores with Ed and Melissa what this means for energy and the potential for carbon utilization as a whole.As always, please subscribe so you don't miss an episode.You can find the report from Pew Research on US attitudes to climate change here: https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2023/08/09/why-some-americans-do-not-see-urgency-on-climate-change/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More money will be invested this year in the solar industry than in oil production. So said Faith Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, last week. Amy Harder, executive editor of Cipher, attended the Cleanpower 2023 event in New Orleans and experienced at first-hand what it means for the Big Green energy industry to be rivalling the scale of Big Oil. The event has been dubbed the ‘Coachella of clean energy' and as Amy recounts walking the half-mile long hall, full of clean energy businesses looking to capitalise on the booming industry, that comparison certainly seems appropriate. Amy Myers Jaffe, director of NYU's Center for Global Affairs, is also on the show this week. She says that what was once seen as a huge divide between the high-carbon and low-carbon energy industries is now being bridged. But she argues there is still an important role for governments in supporting the growth of newer energy technologies that would otherwise find it too difficult to break into markets dominated by old energy incumbents.After discussing how the emergence of the Big Green industry relates to US permitting reforms that could affect all energy infrastructure projects, the gang turn their attention to the G7. The recent summit in Hiroshima included some important discussions of the climate and energy, with world leaders repeating their commitments to accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels, but also acknowledging the case for increased gas production to replace Russian supplies.Finally, whatever happened to alternative protein? Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat and some of the other companies in the sector have been cutting jobs. Beyond Meat's share price, which peaked at about $235 in the summer of 2019, is about $10 this week. Impossible Foods has been talking about an IPO, but now says it is not going to happen this year. It's clear that if you can cut the emissions from food production, and from beef in particular, the climate benefits could be huge. Should changing diets play a bigger role in climate strategy?Subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode and follow us on Twitter, we're @theenergygang Wood Mackenzie's Solar & Energy Storage Summit is back,taking place at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on June 21 and 22.

Amy Harder is the Executive Editor of Cipher by Breakthrough Energy. Cipher is an online climate news source backed by Bill Gates. Amy is a journalist well-known for her ability to break down complex energy and climate issues, and communicate truth in digestible and easy-to-understand ways. Amy also worked for Axios at its inception in 2017 and has worked with the Wall Street Journal. While originally covering general topics, Amy began to take a special interest in stories related to climate change. She decided to focus her niche on energy and climate journalism. Since that transition, she has become a widely renowned journalist for covering climate and energy issues. With a goal of simplifying the data, information, and policies, she attempts to break things down in a way that even people with limited knowledge of specifics can become informed.  In this episode, Amy discusses:  Her journalism journey in Washington Her transition to climate and energy Important U.S. and world climate information How listeners and activities can become more informed on what's really going on in Washington Resources Mentioned in Episode: David Roberts Podcast Bloomberg Green

In this episode of The Energy Gang, we draw our attention away from the IRA and switch focus to the ongoing energy crisis in Europe. Host Ed Crooks is joined by regular guest Melissa Lott, Director of Research at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, and Amy Harder from Cipher. The race to stay warm is on as Russia cuts off more gas supplies to Europe. The continent is facing a potentially very bleak winter, but how bleak depends on the weather. If it's a mild winter, then Europe will probably have enough gas. If it's a cold winter, then things are going to get rough. There will probably need to be demand for curtailment, rationing and blackouts. Already, leaders are urging people to take action, by having cold showers and switching off the air-conditioning to save money and lighten the load on the grid. What do these extreme measures tell us about the sacrifices people are being asked to make to serve a humanitarian cause? Is there a parallel to draw between that and changing our habits to curtail catastrophic climate change? Also, does Europe have enough gas to keep people warm without having to introduce rationing? And what does this say about the lack of tools in our belt when these crises occur? Also on the show: the rise in natural gas prices is being felt around the world. In the U.S., energy costs are hitting homes hard as the price of natural gas and oil has soared to record levels. This has given a big boost to the demand for electric cars. Last month, California approved a ban on the sale of new gasoline- powered vehicles as the state takes dramatic steps to reduce emissions and combat the climate emergency. How will the Clean Air Act impact the energy world? In this new law, 35% of new cars and light trucks sold in the Sunshine state must be either zero-emission, plug-in hybrid or hydrogen-powered by 2026. Is this an ambitious goal?As always, check out our Twitter to let us know your thoughts and any future topics you want us to discuss.

In this week's episode, the gang discuss nuclear power: is it a solution for providing energy security, or could it make the problem worse? Given that many consuming countries need to import most of their uranium, does relying on nuclear power create new sources of fragility? The US imported 86% of its uranium in 2020, from a range of countries, including Russia. What does that mean for hopes that a new generation of reactors could provide affordable and reliable low-carbon power? Next up, it's California's quick peek into the future. The state's power grid ran last weekend on – very nearly – 100% renewable energy, even if it was for less than 15 minutes. How can California, and everywhere else, get to grids that are 100% carbon-free around the clock, 365 days a year? And then it's a topic that is at the top of the agenda right now for everyone working in energy: the current state of the global supply chain. Renewable energy products and components from little solar cells to giant wind turbines are being affected, driving up prices and restricting availability. The gang reflects on the worries of people in the industry, and discuss some solutions that might work, and some that might make the problem worse. Joining Ed today are Melissa Lott, the Director of Research at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, and Amy Harder, returning to the show. Amy is the Executive Editor of the Cipher newsletter published by Breakthrough Energy, the network backed by Bill Gates and other investors to support investment in emissions-reducing technologies.

It's the first Energy Gang of the year. Ed Crooks is joined by Emily Chasan of Generate Capital and Amy Harder, formerly of the Wall Street Journal and Axios, now at Breakthrough Energy, which is the net-zero initiative founded by Bill Gates, who joins the gang for the first time to kick off 2022 with a bang.With air travel over the holiday season bouncing back – despite the Omicron variant – what are the best prospects for taking the emissions out of aviation? In the US, in mid-December, more than two million people per day were passing through the TSA's checkpoints. That is still significantly below pre-pandemic levels, but it is roughly double the numbers in the same period of 2020. Even with the pandemic still raging, people want to fly. That is a real problem for getting to net zero. Aviation emissions are small, accounting for a little under 2% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, but their share is rising. Sustainable aviation fuel and electric planes, are they are viable solution yet?Also, VC and private equity investment into clean tech is booming. About 60 billion dollars was invested in by venture capital and private equity into climate tech in the first half of 2021, according to a recent survey from professional services firm PwC. That's almost triple the 28 billion that was invested in the first half of 2020.About 14% of all VC financing is now going to climate tech. Is investment going to the right technologies?And finally, one of the ideas that is being developed to make sure capital flows into the right activities is EU's Green Taxonomy. It's a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities, to give companies, investors and policymakers definitions for which economic activities can be treated as environmentally sustainable, and which can't. The gang examine the plans; is it a sensible strategy? Is the EU setting a path others might follow?There has been a huge amount of discussion in the past couple of weeks about the Netflix film Don't Look Up: a rare example of Hollywood giving a big-budget big-star treatment to a movie about climate change. It deserves some scrutiny, so to wrap up the show Ed, Emily and Amy give their opinions on the film and argue its effectiveness at raising awareness for climate change.The Energy Gang is brought to you by EPC Power.EPC Power manufactures self-developed energy storage smart inverters made in their American factories with gigawatt level capacity.

The clean energy transition is accelerating — but progress isn't always smooth. The global energy crisis and related price spikes have raised some difficult political questions around the push for decarbonization. At the same time, local opposition to clean energy projects threatens to undermine meeting national net zero goals. Similarly, complexities around accessing materials needed to make cleantech solutions threaten to disrupt the sector.These are the kinds of tough issues that longtime climate and energy journalist Amy Harder is used to covering — and continues to cover in her role as executive editor at Cipher, a recently-launched news publication backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy. In this episode, podcast host Julia Pyper, with co-hosts Brandon Hurlbut and Shane Skelton of policy firm Boundary Stone Partners, speak to Amy about some of the latest trends and challenges in the race to net zero emissions.Listen and subscribe to Political Climate on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get podcasts.

The attack on the U.S. Capitol may have obscured for the moment the traditional transfer of power that will take place with the inauguration of Joe Biden as president. But even amid the ongoing turmoil in Washington, efforts to set agendas in the new administration and the new Congress on important policy matters, like climate change, continue to take place. In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless turns to two of the most experienced reporters covering energy and climate change: Amy Harder of Axios and Steve Mufson of The Washington Post.  The political climate has changed considerably in recent days. And it’s not only because of the violence on Capitol Hill. Significantly, Democrats will now control the Senate as well as the House of Representatives and the White House. Bill, Amy and Steve talk about the hostility at the Capitol, which had taken place just a day before their conversation and sets a troubling tone for governance in Washington as the year 2021 begins. That said, they look at the aggressive plans for energy and climate policy by Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and their options for acting on them quickly. They discuss, as well, the makeup of the new Congress and some of the lawmakers whose impact on policy is likely to be felt. Regulation comes up, too, especially the potential for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission to step up their oversight of the impacts of climate change. Amy has been with Axios for four years, with her column, the “Harder Line,” a regular feature of the news service. Previously, she was a reporter at the Wall Street Journal and National Journal. Steve has worked at The Post since 1989, covering the White House, China, economic policy and diplomacy as well as energy. His current beat is the business of climate change. Earlier, he worked at the Wall Street Journal in New York, London and Johannesburg. As he talks to these senior reporters, Bill calls attention to the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Energy Journalism Initiative, which gives energy reporters an opportunity to learn more about complex topics associated with the beat, like science, technology, markets and policy, all with an eye toward helping them in their work. Some 80 journalists from the U.S. and abroad have participated in EJI since its inception in 2017, and details of this year's program will be announced soon.

Joe Biden currently leads President Donald Trump in the popular vote by more than 5 million ballots cast. And news organizations have projected he'll capture 290 electoral college votes, 20 more than needed to win the presidency. But, Donald Trump is actively resisting the results - which begs the question - does he actually have a constitutional path to prevent Joe Biden from taking the oath of office on January 20th. Plus, Biden’s tall task when it comes to climate change. And, an El Paso nurse's story from the COVID frontlines.

Ryan talks to Axios Energy & Climate reporter Amy Harder about the differences between Trump and Biden on energy and climate issues.

The media cycle in the US and across the world is consumed by the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election, with incumbent Donald Trump hoping to win a second term against the challenge of former Vice-President Joe Biden. Much of the debates around the election have focused on the response to COVID-19, and the candidates' positions on issues related to 'law and order'. But what will the election mean for climate policy? And how will the result affect the international negotiations at COP26 and beyond? To find out Anna speaks to Amy Harder, an energy and climate change reporter at Axios, about Trump's first term of climate policy and the campaign pledges of the respective candidates. Then Ben discusses the international implications with Jennifer Morgan, the Executive Director of Greenpeace International.  Credits: Speakers: Amy Harder, Jennifer Morgan Hosts: Anna Aberg, Ben Horton Editor: Jamie Reed Recorded and produced by Chatham House

After decades spent trying to reach 100 million barrels of daily production, the oil industry is devastated from the sudden evaporation of demand. Renewables are also taking a big hit with projections that half of America's solar workers will lose their jobs. Federal relief packages are bailing out airlines and public transportation, while excluding any help for clean energy. What are the energy impacts of the COVID-19 recession? How will this reshape use of renewables and hydrocarbons in the years to come? Join us for a conversation with Jason Bordoff, founding director of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, Amy Harder, energy and climate change reporter at Axios, Scott Jacobs, CEO & co-founder of Generate Capital, and Julia Pyper, co-host of the Political Climate Podcast.

After decades of relying on imported oil, the U.S. achieved the unthinkable and became the world’s largest producer. Production has doubled over the past decade, and in February reached its highest level ever - thirteen million barrels a day. But as it turns out, all of that overabundance has led to a different kind of oil crisis. “We’re producing more oil and gas than ever,and this industry’s stocks are tanking,” says Amy Harder, energy reporter for Axios. Meanwhile, renewables are experiencing unprecedented growth. What will be the lasting impact of the COVID-19 recession? What is the future of energy in a post-pandemic world? Visit climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts for more information on today's episode.

Demand for oil and fossil fuels has “dropped off an unprecedented cliff” in the “grave new world” created by this crisis. Is there a path to recovery? And what does this mean for renewable energy sources like offshore wind? Award-winning energy and climate change reporter Amy Harder with Axios weighs in.

Oil prices have cratered, due to reduced demand and a dispute between Russia and Saudi Arabia, threatening one of America's largest industries. Dan digs in with Axios energy reporters Amy Harder and Ben Gemen. PLUS: ER docs get pay cuts and the launch of Quibi.

A decade of higher-than-average rainfall and the devastating effects on state infrastructure is the topic on this week’s Talking Michigan Transportation. The conversation begins with Andy Dixon, a National Weather Service hydrologist who detailed the facts at a High Water Summit convened by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Feb. 10. https://www.michigan.gov/som/0,4669,7-192-47796-519367--,00.html Following the conversation with Dixon, Brad Wieferich, director of MDOT’s Bureau of Development, talks about the impact of sustained high water on roads and bridges. An extended period of higher-than-average rainfall, record-high levels of the Great Lakes, inland lakes and swollen rivers and streams has eroded shorelines and made some roads impassable. Daily Great Lakes levels, as tracked by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, remain well above their long-term average and continue to break records. In July 2019, the monthly mean level broke the record high July level, and it is the lake’s highest recorded July monthly level mean since 1918, the beginning of its period of record. http://lre-wm.usace.army.mil/ForecastData/GLBasinConditions/daily-GLWL-Graph.pdf Key facts illustrated by Dixon in his presentation at the High Water Summit: - Overall, the last 10 years have been much wetter than normal across the Great Lakes states. - As a whole, the state of Michigan is in the middle of the wettest one-year, three-year, and five-year periods since records began more than 120 years ago. - Storms occur with more frequency. The previous average would have been 12-20 events in Michigan with waves of 10 feet or higher in fall/winter. Just through Jan. 21, we had 16-plus. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/Spring_Flooding_Risks_EGLE_683531_7.pdf The phrase is over-used, but is this the new normal? Whether it is or not, U.S. climate policy is unlikely to change dramatically anytime soon, says Amy Harder, energy and climate change reporter at Axios. As Harder wrote earlier this month, “Congress is likely to remain gridlocked on the matter.” https://www.axios.com/climate-policy-changes-unlikely-7ecf6cc3-c42c-4d7c-b492-41d73433a015.html MDOT’s Brad Wieferich talks about the impact the high water is already having on state roads and bridges and what the long-term impact could be. As he told the Detroit Free Press: Absent some interjection of federal disaster relief funds (which could only come if Michigan and then the federal government declared portions of the state as disaster zones, something that has not occurred), the regular state road budget, used to fix roads and bridges crumbling from age and wear, would have to bear those huge additional costs. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/02/10/road-fixes-record-high-water-levels-could-top-100-million/4718140002/ Also discussed: the impact of rushing water on bridges and monitoring techniques for what is termed “scour.” https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9622_11045_24249-487016--,00.html

Amy Harder (@AmyAHarder)is one of the top national energy and climate change reporters in the country, distilling complex energy and climate issues to people outside the industry at Axios.Amy has appeared on PBS’ NewsHour, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, CBS, and NPR, among many other media outlets, and regularly speaks at events and panel on climate change.In today’s episode we discuss:- The importance of journalistic neutrality- What the state of climate change today- How Trump’s transformed eco policy- What carbon capture could do to save our future- Why governmental climate policies are unlikely- Which areas of cleantech are most promising for future growth- Why we need more stories on hopeful climate change- The big difference between European and US startups- What a more effective Paris Accord could look like- How to build better triple-bottom-line businesses (here’s a free guide for founders)- Why sustainability needs economic drivers to success- The reason Amy’s hopeful about our planet’s future- Why a carbon tax won’t work and possible alternatives- Why plastics are ruining the world in more ways than one

Leading Republicans have long rejected calls for action on climate change. Now, they appear to be changing course. They're pushing new proposals, including a plan to store carbon in trees. What's driving this shift? Is there substance behind these new plans? For that, we spoke with veteran energy and environment reporter Amy Harder of Axios. Then, New Hampshire Public Radio’s Annie Ropeik on which issues inspired voters to head to the polls in her state, and how much climate factored into their choices.

The year 2020 promises to be a tumultuous one in the U.S. for any number of reasons, including a national election, an impeachment of the president and ongoing divisions between Republicans and Democrats over the future course of government. And among the issues that continues to heat up is climate change. In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless meets with two of the leading energy and environment reporters in Washington: Steve Mufson of The Washington Post and Amy Harder of Axios. Steve has worked at The Post since 1989, covering the White House, China, economic policy and diplomacy as well as energy. His current beat is the business of climate change. Earlier, he worked at the Wall Street Journal in New York, London and Johannesburg. Amy has been with Axios for three years, with her column, the “Harder Line,” a regular feature of the news service. Previously, she was a reporter at the Wall Street Journal and the National Journal. Sitting down with top energy and environment reporters in January to talk about what’s in store for energy and climate issues in the new year has been a regular feature for Bill for several years now, and Steve and Amy offer a behind-the-scenes look at some of the major stories and trends taking place.  The program also offers Bill an opportunity to talk about the Energy Journalism Initiative, an annual seminar conducted by the Center on Global Energy Policy to help energy journalists deepen their understanding of complex issues associated with the beat. The deadline for applications is Feb. 16.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Amy Harder, national energy and climate change reporter at Axios. Harder's reporting includes exclusive scoops and analyses of national and global trends. Previously, she covered similar issues for the Wall Street Journal and National Journal. Harder also was the inaugural journalism fellow for the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute in 2018. Harder has been a longtime friend of RFF and has participated as a moderator in several RFF events. You may have followed her work on shale gas development, carbon pricing, and so many of the other topics of interest in today’s energy and climate policy conversations.

Climate change is becoming more and more tangible – every day we are seeing the devastating consequences of a warmer world in the news. Amy Harder, Energy Reporter at Axios and formerly The Wall Street Journal, discusses her take on the eight pieces of the climate change puzzle and what she looks for when writing a story on this hugely topical, yet still divisive, issue. In recent news, global movements like the School Strike 4 Climate are taking centre stage, while policymakers and business leaders continue to pull in different directions on the issues at the heart of the climate change emergency. But with so many parties to please, is the conversation around climate ever going to ignite real change?

Dan looks at the latest regarding the Green New Deal with Axios' energy reporter Amy Harder. In the "Final Two", Apple's big unveil and what the Mueller Report release made us forget about. https://www.axios.com/washington-empty-messaging-fight-green-new-deal-6d0e526f-5698-44ee-9273-9da0e49e7827.html

Climate change is a complex subject to cover at any time, let alone at a time in history when basic science is undermined and criticized. How have reporters and media organizations changed how and how often they cover climate change? To what extent are those shifts reflective of changes in policy and politics, science and society’s perception of the issue? ‘Off the Charts’ host Jeff McMahon tackles these issues and more with Axios energy reporter and EPIC journalism fellow Amy Harder.

On The Gist, wise words from the mouth of Jeff Bezos… by way of Amazon’s Alexa. In the interview, green energy may be clean, but that doesn’t mean its infrastructure is any less garish. Energy reporter Amy Harder reminds us that one of the lesser-discussed obstacles to a Green New Deal is good old-fashioned nimbyism: “A lot of people don’t like power lines being constructed right in their backyards.” Harder covers energy for Axios, and writes its Harder Line column.  In the Spiel, it may feel right to ask that we believe women making accusations of sexual assault. But a better corrective would be simply to not discredit them out of hand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2019 is already shaping up as a tumultuous one in Washington, D.C., with divided government, a government shutdown and 2020 presidential campaigns already taking shape. And when it comes to energy and climate policy, there’s a lot of uncertainty, too, including what to make of calls for a Green New Deal. In this edition of the Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless sits down with two of the most prominent energy and climate reporters in Washington: Steve Mufson of The Washington Post and Amy Harder of Axios.  Steve has worked at The Post since 1989, covering the White House, China, economic policy and diplomacy, as well as energy. Earlier, he spent six years at the Wall Street Journal in New York, London and Johannesburg. Amy has been with Axios for two years, with her column, Harder Line, a regular feature of the news service. Previously, she worked for the Wall Street Journal and the National Journal. Amy is also the Inaugural Journalism Fellow at the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute. Bill, Steve and Amy discussed what lies in store for energy and climate policy and regulation in Washington in 2019, with Democrats now in control of the House of Representatives and making climate change a priority for action this year. They also delved into the emergence of the Green New Deal among Democrats and how that concept may complement mainstream policy objectives of the party or conflict with them.  Among other topics, they explore legislation aimed at OPEC’s role in oil markets and bills meant to promote carbon-capture and nuclear technologies, as well as whether lawmakers or the Trump administration will take steps to temper the impact on fuel prices of new shipping emissions regulations in 2020. There’s talk of regulation, too, and what tops the agendas at the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Finally, Bill takes a few moments to talk about the Columbia Energy Journalism Initiative, a program at the Center on Global Energy Policy that helps energy journalists deepen their understanding of complex issues like markets, policy, science and geopolitics. And while at it, he asks Steve and Amy for their advice for budding energy journalists.

We talk to Amy Harder from Axios about the climate change report and Yahoo News' Hunter Walker about all things White House!

Innovation in clean energy is often said to be a critical component to successfully reducing greenhouse gas emissions. History suggests, however, that more R&D spending doesn't always result in lower emissions. How can policymakers make the most of every R&D dollar? What's politically possible in Washington? And what technologies should we be watching for? Recently, Axios energy reporter and EPIC journalism fellow Amy Harder discussed this topic at a dinner in downtown Washington, DC. She was joined by EPIC Director Michael Greenstone; EPIC policy fellow McKie Campbell, a managing partner of BlueWater Strategies and former staff director for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee; and Rich Powell, executive director of the ClearPath Foundation, which works to advance conservative policies that accelerate clean energy innovation.

Dan talks about how Washington State is trying pass a carbon price that could affect climate change with Axios climate reporter Amy Harder. Also, in the “Final Two” Dan talks about how tech is providing it’s own privacy regulations and the biggest name being completely silent on the situation in Saudi Arabia.  

In this episode we discuss... Amy’s background in journalism and her personal journey in the nuclear industry reporting on energy from the Wall Street Journal to Axios How energy plays a role in economics and politics including the natural gas boom during the Obama era The evolution of energy in the media and its impact on public perception The pendulum swing of US energy regulations Nuclear’s environmental benefits and the ways in which it can aid our carbon solution and work against climate change Amy’s view of trends in electricity grids, coal, oil and natural gas, and nuclear The importance of the US’s leadership role in guiding the global nuclear sector

With the world in upheaval, how are we to respond to the most global challenge of them all? Featuring special guests Amy Harder and Giulio Boccaletti.

Are people who care about climate change downplaying the issue under social and political pressure? Has their alarmism been too muted? Or has the outcry become so loud that it's drowning out the possibility of collective action? The jury is out. In this episode of Political Climate, we tackle a difficult question posed by a listener on the severity of the climate threat and the appropriate policy response. Amy Harder, energy and climate reporter for Axios, joins us to discuss. But first we revisit the Democratic National Committee. The DNC has decided to once again accept donations from fossil fuel interests. The move comes just two months after the committee adopted a separate resolution banning donations from political action committees tied to coal, oil and gas companies. The reversal has spurred a debate among Democrats on matching up policies and values. We also discuss the Kigali Amendment — a global climate agreement that key U.S. industry players, and many Republicans, are urging President Trump to ratify.

Hydraulic fracturing is perhaps the most important innovation in the energy system in the last half century. As a result of this innovation, U.S. production of oil and natural gas has increased dramatically. This has led to abruptly lower energy prices, stronger energy security and even lower carbon dioxide and air pollution emissions by displacing coal. That is certainly good news for our climate, and our health—with large reductions in air pollution dispersed around the country. But, while there are relatively few coal mines, conventional oil drilling sites and nuclear plants in the United States, tens of thousands of hydraulic fracturing wells have been drilled over the past few years from Pennsylvania to Colorado, Texas to North Dakota. With it being an everyday experience for many Americans, the practice has raised questions about the local impacts. Communities have reached very different conclusions about the benefits and costs, with some places banning it and others embracing it. Two recent studies have shed light on the impacts. On the benefits side, one study by EPIC Director Michael Greenstone and his coauthors found that fracking increases economic activity, employment, income and housing prices, with the average household benefitting by about $2,000 a year. However, if people’s understanding of the health impacts were to change, it is likely that this would alter the net benefits of allowing fracking. Since health is such a critical factor, Greenstone decided to dig in further by looking at the health of those born near fracking sites. He and his coauthors found that infants born to mothers living up to about 2 miles from a hydraulic fracturing site suffer from poorer health. The largest impacts were to babies born within about a half mile of a site, with those babies being 25 percent more likely to be born at a low birth weight. The United States’ continued access to the widely-dispersed benefits from hydraulic fracturing depends on local communities allowing it. How should we as a nation balance this challenge? What options do policymakers have at the federal, state and local levels? EPIC Director Michael Greenstone and EPIC’s inaugural policy fellows Jeff Holmstead and Sue Tierney explored these competing variables and the policy pathways to addressing them at the federal, state and local levels. The conversation was moderated by Axios reporter Amy Harder. This event was part of EPIC’s Energy Inquiry & Impact Series, designed to explore the latest energy data coming out of the University of Chicago and their impacts on policy discussions. Cutting-edge findings will serve as the launching pad to frame these deep-dive conversations, as researchers and EPIC policy fellows navigate ways to translate research into solutions.

Testifying before Congress on Thursday to discuss his agency’s budget, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt is expected to face tough questions about what many lawmakers perceive as his exorbitant spending on transportation and security since taking the position. Last week, 131 representatives and 39 senators signed a congressional resolution calling on Pruitt to resign. But according to this week’s guest Amy Harder of Axios, whether Scott Pruitt stays in his role at the EPA or goes, his controversial agenda of slashing environmental regulations will continue as long as there is a Republican in the White House. In this week’s episode of “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, Amy previews some of what to expect from Pruitt’s Capitol Hill testimony and tells host Jesse Lent about some of the more consequential actions he has taken while overseeing the EPA.

What: Axios Energy and Climate Change Reporter, Amy Harder, Joins SolarWakeup To Talk Politics and Energy Markets Summary: Amy Harder joined Axios from the Wall Street Journal and writes the Harder Line, part of Axios’ coverage of the energy space. Amy is well versed on the politics of energy and has been based in DC for over 10 years. She joins Yann in this recorded interview from SolarWakeup Live! to talk about coal and nuclear bailouts, COP proceedings in Bonn and impacts of jobs in the solar debate. SolarWakeup View: Amy is not a solar reporter and rarely takes pitches from companies. Her short form, no nonsense reporting doesn’t skirt the heart of the issue. In this conversation I ask Amy about the ongoing solar trade case, bills that are floating in Congress and how she will report on the solar trade rallies (she didn’t). This is a small way of leaving the echo chamber by talking with a well known, well connected and straight forward energy reporter.

With the ongoing investigation of Trump administration ties to Russia and whether the President obstructed justice dominating national news coverage, it can often appear like there is little time for reporters to investigate anything else. Among the litany of critical issues getting kicked off of the front pages of most major newspapers in America is the environment. President Trump and his EPA head Scott Pruitt promised to rollback reams of Obama-era regulations and so far they have made good on that promise. In this episode of "TrumpWatch," Amy Harder, a reporter covering energy and environmental policy for Axios who writes the Harder Line weekly column, returns to the show to discuss which shifts in green policy have been overshadowed by the daily revelations of the investigation into Russian collusion.
