The decisions we make now will define our economy and the health of our planet. My guest on the show today is Bob Keefe, author of the new book, "Clean Economy NOW: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution,” in which Keefe offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the corridors of power in Congress, where pivotal climate policies are being crafted. From bustling assembly lines to dusty mines, Keefe takes readers on a journey through the very spaces where the foundation of a cleaner economy is being laid. However, he also sounds a point of caution, highlighting the potential consequences if we allow our elected officials to backtrack on these vital policies. The book includes detailed data from E2 about the more than 200 major clean energy projects announced in just the first year of the landmark Inflation Reduction Act, and insights from E2's research into the economic impacts of these projects, including hundreds of thousands of jobs and more than $150 billion added to the U.S. GDP.

Time Magazine took a deep dive into Trump‘s feelings on several issues. The former president discussed using the National Guard to assist in mass deportations of undocumented immigrants should he be elected. He floated the possibility of pardoning January 6th participants as well as the possibility of weaponizing the Department of Justice. He once again brought up the potential of an unfair election should he lose and regarding the use of violence, Time says Trump “did not dismiss the possibility outright and did not proactively say anything to deter supporters from again resorting to it.” Thank goodness John Rothmann, Presidential historian, political analyst, and former KGO talk show host will be here to discuss it all. According to the FDA, recent tests of milk show one in five samples containing Bird Flu Virus fragments. It indicates infections in dairy cows are widespread. The FDA insists the food supply is safe. UCSF infectious disease specialist. Dr. Peter Chin-Hong will join us to explain. “It's the Planet. Stupid!”continues. Our amazing environmental reporter Belinda Waymouth Is off appreciating the planet and so we turn to Bob Keefe. He is the author of ““Clean Economy NOW: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution”. Mark is traveling, Kim and Albert are joined by award-winning Journalist Phil Shuman.
Today on The Love Is podcast with Kim Sorrelle and The Neil Haley Show with Neil "The Media Giant" Haley interview Bob Keefe. Bob Keefe, executive director of E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs) a national, nonpartisan group of business owners, investors and professionals who leverage economic research and their business perspective.
Bob Keefe is the Executive Director of the national nonpartisan group E2 - Environmental Entrepreneurs, and author of "Clean Economy NOW: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution." Bob is a seasoned journalist, passing on his experiences with 10,000 business leaders dedicated to promoting sustainable environmental practices amidst an economy in change since the 2022 passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). New factories are building where old ones once existed, some abandoned. South Carolina, as an example, sees the manufacture of batteries, a necessity now more than ever, and available 'at home'. Washington state, meanwhile, sees the manufacture of electric planes taking place, as well as transitioning older diesel semis to electrics. This translates to an increase in available and better paying jobs in our communities. Bob cautions the progress is dependent on these policies continuing to move forward, toward a clearer environment and a healthier community. www.clearneconomynow.com

I'm All About Innovation and Innovators So I Love This Story. In his new book “Clean Economy Now: Stories from the Front Lines of an American Business Revolution" Bob Keefe the Executive Director of E2 a national nonpartisan business group of 10,000 business leaders which has been around for 25 years, describes his recent travels across the country. He wanted to witness first-hand all the clean energy projects in motion because of the significant private sector investment and job creation that's happened incredibly fast over the past 20 months since The Inflation Reduction Act. Bob checked in on my show live from the Annual Society of Environmental Journalists, at the University of Pennsylvania co-hosted by the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media, in collaboration with the Annenberg Public Policy Center. . He joined me live just minutes after the recent earthquake we had in the northeast rattled my radio studio in Greenwich CT. Though the quake did hit parts of PA, and Bob and I had some fun talking about earthquakes in general since Bob is from L.A., Bob said he didn't really feel it, but what he mentioned he was feeling is an economic earthquake. It's an economic revolution like we haven't seen says Bob. And he's making sure we are all paying attention. “I truly believe that we are at the advent of an American economic revolution, the likes of which we have not seen in this country in generations, maybe if ever. And let me tell you why I say that. “Right now, my organization is tracking clean energy job projects around the, or clean energy projects around the country since the passage of the landmark IRA, the Inflation Reduction Act and some other policies 20 months ago. And what we know is this, there are more than 300 major factories and other projects, clean energy projects, coming out of the ground across America right now. $118 billion worth of private sector investment. That's companies that are putting money into these projects. “ “These aren't government grants or loans. These are companies investing in America. A hundred thousand jobs have been already announced just in those past 20 months. When in this country have we ever seen 300 factories and other major projects coming out of the ground? When have we seen this kind of investment?” “We have foreign companies that are investing in the United States and creating jobs here now versus taking American jobs and doing stuff overseas. And it's not just creating all this economic growth, it's putting America on competitive again with the rest of the world.” “We understand that we can't have a good economy without a good environment, and we can't have a good environment without a good economy. “ Bob points out that In New York alone there have been about a dozen major projects that E2 has tracked. $800 million worth of private sector investment in New York from companies, 3,000 plus jobs created. Bob and I talked about the offshore wind farm, the nation's first commercial offshore wind farm that just opened off Montauk, New York. Twelve turbines are going to provide enough juice for about 70,000 homes said Bob. And Bob mentioned there's another company that's building a converter station to essentially take offshore wind energy and convert it and get it onto the grid into people's homes. Bob and I discussed many specific projects, besides the offshore wind farms including solar panel factories, battery technology and the potential of hydrogen as a clean fuel. I was captivated by what's happening and I think you will be too. There's company called Air Products is now going to clean hydrogen and they're building one of the first factories in Messina, New York. In Connecticut, there's a company called Mott Corporation that's building filtration systems for use in things like this hydrogen. And mentioned there's another company called NEL, N-E-L, that relocated here from the Netherlands who are building something called electrolyzers that are going to be used by hydrogen plants like the one being built in Messina to produce hydrogen. Right now he said, there are something like 30 or 40, battery factories being built in America and about 60 solar factories popping up all around the country. And l this is happening in places that Bob points out, you would not expect it to happen. “As part of the book, I started off in a place called Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Well, Kings Mountain is home to an old lithium mine that was first established in the 1950s. At one time, it supplied lithium for the Manhattan Project, right? We all know what that is. Well, we have a company now that's restarting that mine because to supply batteries to manufacturers throughout the Southeast and other places. “ Drive down the street to Dalton, Georgia. And Dalton, Georgia used to be the carpet capital of the world, maybe it still is. Well right now a company called Q-Cells is building what will be the biggest, one of the biggest solar panel factories in the Western Hemisphere. Wow. In little old Dalton, Georgia. You know go a little further down the street in Georgia to Savannah and Kia and Hyundai are building one of the biggest electric vehicle factories on the planet. This is incredible stuff happening. “ I learned that Georgia is the number one state for clean energy projects right now. And that North Carolina has more investments in clean energy projects than any state. But big things are also happening in Alabama, Louisiana, New York, and I Connecticut.” Arnold Schwarzenegger did the foreword to Bobs book. “When I think about how far America has come in building a cleaner economy, I can't help but smile. It's hard to imagine we can fail, but make no mistake, we can If we do, it won't be a failure of innovation, of business. It will be a failure by us to come together to keep this great progress going. It will be a failure by us, collective us, to put aside our ideologies and political divisions and our complacency. It will be a failure for us too.” “If we do fail, it won't be a failure of innovation, or of business. It will be a failure by us to come together to keep this great progress going. It will be a failure by us, the collective us, to put aside our ideologies and political divisions and our complacency. “ Enjoy this fascinating interview about the current American Economic revolution in this podcast of my live conversation with Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2, a national nonpartisan business group of 10,000 business leaders, on The Debbie Nigro Show.
Wildfire smoke pouring in from Canada is a frightening real-time example of the impacts of climate change. It is also an apt metaphor for how the mounting costs of climate change are being quietly paid by American Taxpayers. Host Steve Ellis and TCS Vice President Autumn Hanna are joined by Bob Keefe and Sandra Purohit with the national, nonpartisan group E2 to breakdown the findings in the new TCS Climate Report: “Paying the Price: Taxpayers Footing the Bill for Increasing Costs of Climate Change.”

PART ONE OF A TWO PART SPONSORED FEATURE PROMOTIONAL INTERVIEW I love innovators especially when they're working on things that benefit everybody. I'm shining a light on E2, a National ‘Non- Partisan' Group of Business Leaders, Investors, and others who advocate for policies that are ‘ good for the economy and good for the environment'. They're passionate that those policies and projects already committed to continue on… because… hello - they're working. I'm sharing an education on 'the big picture' regarding what's going on here in the U.S. as a result of the federal investments in climate mitigation and clean energy. First up to join me is Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2. Bob explains how that funding and those policies are creating 1000's of new jobs, driving economic growth and rebounding our economy. Bob also wrote the book ‘Climatenomics', and speaks regularly about the economic benefits of smart environmental policies. Next I hosted Sandra Purohit, E2's Director of Federal Advocacy (in the next separate podcast segment that follows this one.) One successful example that both E2 members point to, happens to be in the area near where I live in the Hudson Valley in NY. A company called Zinc8 has developed innovative battery technology that uses zinc and air as fuel and is redefining long duration energy storage. They're now an anchor tenant in a 3 decades long empty IBM site in upstate NY, creating 500 new jobs as well. E2 members are passionate that what they're doing us good for everybody. They're concerned that thousands of just announced clean energy and infrastructure jobs and billions in new federal investments for similar meaningful projects are suddenly in jeopardy. They want you all to pay attention and understand what's going on. So they stopped by and asked me to share their message. Which I was happy to do. If you know me I don't talk politics but …I do talk ‘relevant.'

Copyright 2022 - The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon Entrepreneurs are the job engine in the United States. Many of the companies founded by today's entrepreneurs have products or services addressing environmental needs. New technologies almost always gain traction through the work of stubborn entrepreneurs, including solar, wind, electric vehicles and energy storage. Public policies that encourage these new technologies are critical to their success in the market. Without smart environmental policies such as the solar investment tax credit, net metering, renewable portfolio standards and the wind production tax credit, the solar and wind industries would be a fraction of their current size. And when these new technologies gain traction with customer economics better than previous energy technologies, adoption of these new technologies accelerates. The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will turbocharge the deployment of clean energy technologies. Policies like the IRA do not sprout spontaneously from the minds of politicians. Instead, they are suggested, developed and advocated by public policy organizations. And when it comes to smart environmental policies for entrepreneurial companies, Environmental Entrepreneurs, or E2, is one of the leading voices. E2's members have founded or funded more than 2,500 companies, created over 600,000 jobs, and managed over $100 billion in venture and private equity capital. Please listen to this week's Energy Show as we engage with Bob Keefe, E2's Executive Director, to learn about the genesis of E2, their successes working at the intersection of jobs, economy and the environment; and their plans for the future.

Germany's “Umwelt Bundesamt” talks about the new “Green Economy. “They claim the present economic system is destroying our natural resources with the result of eroding the prosperity of future generations. They say that “Business as usual” in industrialised countries' are resource-intensive, and with emerging countries following suit, it is not a feasible course for the future, which is why transforming into a Green Economy is necessary. . But this is Germany; what is the rest of the world saying? Are other countries, including the US, the world's largest economy, moving towards a Green Economy with clean energy? Is a new economic development model with positive connections between ecology and economics emerging? In this episode, we explore what is going on worldwide and in the world's biggest economy to advocate intelligent business practices and politics that link the economy and the environment with the perspective of saving our environment for future generations.

In this podcast Melanie Boylan speaks with former Tech Journalist and Executive Director of E2 and author of the very recent book on the subject entitled Climatenomics: Washington, Wall Street and the Economic Battle to Save Our Planet. It's sad that we have reached this pinnacle in our climate journey, but with Bob's attitude and the shift that we can make using economics alone, this is not just a job for the children now. It's a whole new area where we can capitalise and actually help protect our planet and find other communities that want this as badly as we do. Bob Keefe is executive director of E2 (Environmental Entrepreneurs) a nonpartisan organization of more than 10,000 business leaders who advocate for policies that are good for the economy and good for the environment. In addition to overseeing E2's work and its nine U.S. chapters, Bob speaks regularly about the economic benefits of smart environmental policies, the clean energy economy, jobs and related issues, and has been widely quoted in publications nationwide. He is the author of “Climatenomics: Washington, Wall Street and the Economic Battle To Save Our Planet” (Rowman & Littlefield, May 2022) and co-author of several other business-related books. Prior to joining E2 in 2011, Bob spent more than 20 years as a political, business and environmental journalist. He served as the chief Washington correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, as a California-based national reporter for Cox Newspapers/Cox News Service, as technology editor for the Austin (Tx) American-Statesman and as a business and investigative reporter for the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a fellow at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

July 21, 2022 Hostaway Marcus Rder and Environmental Entrepreneurs Bob Keefe
(7/8/22) According to Bob Keefe, the battle against climate change is no longer just an environmental or social issue. As shareholders demand corporations protect assets against climate change and the economic impact of environmental disasters suck billions of dollars out of the economy, capitalism itself has become an ally. The economic impact of climate change is rattling the foundation of our economy at its very core. It's blowing up centuries-old industries from automobiles to oil and gas, creating new opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. It's costing Americans billions of dollars each and every year. And most importantly, it's forcing politicians to pass long-overdue policies that will transform our businesses, our lives and our future like never before. Join us when Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a national, nonpartisan organization dedicated to providing business perspectives on environmental issues, shares with listeners how this new reality will impact their industries, businesses, jobs, and communities and transform our country's economy.
Author Bob Keefe discusses his book, "Climatenomics."

Bob Keefe is no stranger to a good story. A journalist for more than 20 years covering everything from climate to Amazon, Keef's eye for a story that needs to be told culminated in his first book - ‘Climatenomics' - which discusses in-depth the economic impact - and possibilities of climate change. Now Executive Director at E2, a non-profit for the advancement of productive economic and energy policies, Keefe sits down with Fred to talk about how the book came about, how policy holds a vital key to fixing climate change and that along with the challenges posed by this global threat - there's a new world of possibilities - but the message has to be relayed. It's a great discussion with a seasoned reporting vet - and the smooth, conversational tone of Climatenomics reflects that.

copyright 2019, The Energy Show - Barry Cinnamon Entrepreneurs are the job engine in the United States. Many of the companies founded by today's entrepreneurs have products or services addressing environmental needs. New technologies almost always gain traction through the work of stubborn entrepreneurs, including solar, wind, electric vehicles and energy storage. Public policies that encourage these new technologies are critical to their success in the market. Without policies such as the solar investment tax credit, net metering, renewable portfolio standards and the wind production tax credit, the solar and wind industries would be a fraction of their current size. And when these new technologies gain traction with customer economics better than previous energy technologies, adoption of these new technologies accelerates. Just look at how wind, solar and batteries are surpassing fossil fuel energy sources. These public policies generally do not sprout spontaneously from the minds of politicians. Instead, they are suggested, developed and advocated by public policy organizations. And when it comes to environmental policies for entrepreneurial companies, Environmental Entrepreneurs, or E2, is one of the leading voices. E2's members have founded or funded more than 2,500 companies, created over 600,000 jobs, and managed over $100 billion in venture and private equity capital. Please listen to this week's Energy Show as we engage with Bob Keefe, E2's Executive Director, to learn about the genesis of E2, their successes working at the intersection of jobs, economy and the environment; and their plans for the future.
