In 2024, 91% of new large-scale renewable projects around the world made electricity for less money than any fossil-fuel option, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency. Solar power was 41% cheaper than the lowest-cost fossil fuel, and onshore wind was 53% cheaper. The technology that can lower energy bills, keep the grid stable, and create jobs is now the most affordable way to build power almost anywhere. So, here's the big question our guest faces every day: if clean energy is this good and this affordable, why is it still so tough to get people to support it? Leah Qusba leads GoodPower, a nonprofit focused on strategic communications and research.For almost twenty years, it was known as Action for the Climate Emergency, but it changed its name during Climate Week 2025. Since Leah took over, the group has grown about ten times bigger, built a network of over 8,500 content creators who share facts about renewables, and started running live messaging tests through its Good Data Lab. The new name highlights that renewable power is good power, and the best way to win support is by showing how it affects people's monthly bills. The decision to rebrand was based on data. Leah's team learned that words like “climate” and “emergency” can shut down conversations in rural, conservative areas where most new wind and solar projects are built. GoodPower shifted its message to focus on jobs, community investment, and steady power bills.GoodPower also works to fight anti-renewables disinformation, which Leah says spreads fastest in the first day or two after a grid emergency. When Winter Storm Fern knocked out power in more than 20 states in January, the organization had a few days' notice and quickly got its creator network ready to “prebunk” the usual claim that renewables caused the blackouts. This strategy, based on the Debunking Handbook, starts with the truth, points out the false claim, and then repeats the truth to make it stick.GoodPower uses the same idea in its AI tools: CleanCast predicts where local fights over new projects might start so communities can get accurate information early, and TrueVoice spots AI-generated comments in public records. Still, Leah says the best messengers are neighbors, since people trust those who share their experiences. For instance, when Boulder City, Nevada's Republican mayor, Joe Hardy, talks about how solar and storage helped his town's budget, it connects with other conservative communities in a way ads can't.GoodPower's network of creators shares clean-energy messages through car-repair, food, and gaming videos. Leah calls this the raisin bread theory: the regular content is the bread, and the renewables message is the raisin. For communities already dealing with climate impacts, she highlights groups like Extreme Weather Survivors, which gives wildfire and flood survivors a way to push for policy changes from the ground up.To learn more, visit goodpower.org and follow Leah Qusba on LinkedIn, where she is active and easy to reach.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube 

Adam and Katie return to coverage of London Climate Action Week with a lively, optimistic episode that dives into the intersection of climate, health and technology. They set the scene with World Cup vibes before Adam shares his on‑the‑ground experience judging the Health in Climate hackathon — a fast, furious weekend of teams building working AI‑enabled prototypes to tackle real health risks from climate events.Their guests are key figures behind the hackathon: Seema Wadhwa (former lead for sustainability at a major US health system and Founder of Climate in Health) and Chethan Sarabu (a clinician and tech partner from Cornell Tech). Together they explain what a hackathon actually is, why bringing climate scientists, clinicians, engineers, comms and product builders into an intense, time‑bounded room produces finished, deployable tools, and how AI is changing the game. Rather than replacing people, AI accelerates what's possible — making it easier for non‑tech experts to participate and for teams to ship working solutions in a weekend. But with speed comes responsibility: energy efficiency of AI models, data privacy (especially for health data) and ethical deployment are front of mind.Highlights from the hackathon showcase the breadth and impact of the work. The winning team's tool addressed firefighters' long‑term health risks by combining drone‑delivered regional air‑quality sensing with personalised exposure profiles and alerts — a solution that impressed judges and actuaries alike and immediately attracted interest from potential implementers. Other standouts included a resilience tool for healthcare supply chains in flooding events and a post‑disaster travel planner for essential supplies like baby formula. The conversation emphasizes that hackathons don't just create prototypes; they create networks, incubator opportunities and direct pathways to adoption by corporate and healthcare partners.Seema and Chethan reflect on their journeys into climate and health — from civil engineering and landscape architecture to frontline pediatrics — and on the strategic value of focussing health in climate action. Framing climate impacts through health (extreme heat, respiratory illness from wildfire smoke, pregnancy risks) makes the issue personal and depoliticizes the conversation, engaging clinicians, patients and the public in new ways. They also spell out practical next steps: AI literacy bootcamps, cross‑disciplinary capacity building and plans to expand the hackathon model globally, culminating in New York during Climate Week.Adam and Katie weave in broader reporting: how extreme heat disrupted sporting events and daily life, the need to rethink stadiums and infrastructure, and the urgency of translating technical innovation into policy and practice. This episode is for anyone curious about where rapid innovation meets frontline impact — clinicians, technologists, policymakers and organizers who want to turn ideas into deployed solutions.Find out more at https://healthinclimate.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailHas the UK become ungovernable? was just one of many questions in the headlines this week, after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation. Even though it may no longer be a major news story for the rest of the world, it's relentless in the UK, including helicopter footage of Andy Burnham (future PM?) arriving in London by train to be sworn in as an MP. The other side of this story – apart from the 10-year anniversary of Brexit – is we've seen coverage both praising OR condemning Starmer, so for those of us outside the UK, it might be hard to know which is which. There really is no centre in the discussion at all - a sign of the times. A lot of other big news moments happening this week, from the US/Iran deal to the reflecting pool in Washington DC “attacked by vandals,” and of course, we await to hear the number of deaths from the double earthquakes that hit Venezuela, while Japan and California experienced earthquakes too. Heat is top of the agenda in Europe, as records are smashed across the continent, and the conversation is: should we get air conditioners? One thing is clear, Europe is not ready for extreme heat, while the scientists continue to scream about the accelerating impacts of climate change. This is all happening during Climate Week in the UK, which is experiencing cancellations due to extreme heat – ironic. There's a lot more news to talk about, and to help us this week we have a returning guest, Jessica Figueras. Always passionate about politics, who's going to help us understand what's changed in the UK, and how she views the entire political debate going on in the UK right now. Is the country ungovernable? Is Brexit to blame for where it is? Will Nigel Farrage really be the next Prime Minister? Jess's professional focus is around cybersecurity, governance, data and innovation, which we might get to as well, but this week, it's going to be about British politics, and we can't wait to dig in and understand. Don't miss out as we get under the covers of UK politics and world news. We'll be going live Friday, 26th June 2026, kicking off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we'd love your support. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world's most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourage You can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar 

Ed's new project, Critical Mass, starts with a deceptively simple question: if Canada decides it wants more nuclear power, can it actually deliver it? The answer turns out to be complicated.As part of the project, we're hosting four live town halls across the country. The first was recorded at Toronto Climate Week on June 5, featuring Todd Smith (former Ontario Minister of Energy, now VP at Candu Energy) and Brendan Frank (VP of Policy at Clean Prosperity). Together they work through the project's core tensions - cost, democratic legitimacy, and standardization - with the kind of honest talk you've come to expect from EvC.Thank you to Geoff Burt and The Consecon Foundation for helping make the evening possible. Send us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Follow us on:LinkedInBlueskyX/TwitterInstagramEnergy vs Climate relies on the support of our generous listenersDonate to keep Energy vs Climate goingProduced by Bespoke Podcasts

Here's a question. When you talk about an issue you deeply care about, like climate change- what's the reaction from the people around you, in your life? Are they supportive, are they dismissive? Sometimes you're the lone voice at your workplace, or in your family, pushing others to recycle or compost properly… and that can be isolating.That was the topic of discussion at a recent event held here at our KALW event space in downtown San Francisco. We hosted a live recording of the climate-focused podcast Doom and Bloom, hosted by Marc O'Brien. His guest was Dr. Renee Lertzman - a psychologist, researcher, and strategist. In this excerpt, she talks about why some people struggle to act on climate change, despite caring deeply about it-  and how it feels to be that lone voice in the room… 

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we've brought you special daily episodes from Zurich.    In our final episode of the week, we're talking to Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The WMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva, Switzerland, that facilitates worldwide cooperation on monitoring and predicting changes in weather, climate, water and other environmental conditions.   Celeste says Climate Week Zurich is helping raise awareness of the need to build climate resilience in the public and private sectors through collaboration and data sharing.  "If we speak about food security, you speak about climate; if you speak about water security, you speak about climate; if you speak about transportation and logistics and security associated with aviation or marine operations, you're also speaking about weather and climate," Celeste says. "The quality of climate information is not guaranteed unless every player plays an active role."   Celeste explains how the WMO is building consensus at a time when geopolitical tensions are high.   "We need to trust science," she tells us. "Scientists are also needed to provide objective information for decision-makers. It's not for scientists to decide on what to do, but it's for scientists to provide the right level of knowledge for those that are going to take decisions."   Learn about the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence: Climate Center of Excellence | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER  By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

For the past couple of years KALW has had a second home at the Mills Building on Montgomery Street in Downtown San Francisco. Besides making great radio here, and training new journalists, we host lots of live events for listeners… like you!Recently one of those events brought guests deeper into the building… to a curated installation inside the halls of the Mills Building: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. It's a multimedia exhibition featuring Bay Area artists that focus on climate change and elemental forces, and invites viewers to consider climate change as an ongoing condition embedded in everyday life.The evening was hosted by KALW's Ben Trefny in partnership with the Swig company. In this excerpt we hear from the curator of this exhibit, Carey Hurtado, and artists Tanya Geis and Andrew Owen. First, Ben asks Carey - what's the exhibit all about?

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich.   In our fourth episode of the week, we're talking to a leader who spent 30 years working for Swedish retail giant IKEA: Jesper Brodin. Jesper recently retired after eight years as CEO of Ingka Group, the primary operator of IKEA's global home furnishing stores, and in March 2026 he was named Board Chair of The Earthshot Prize.  Climate Week Zurich includes a focus on how sustainability can build competitive advantage, and in our interview Jesper explains how his career continuously showed him that companies can embrace sustainability without sacrificing economic benefits, quality or affordability.  "It actually is a good business to be a good business," he says.    To navigate geopolitical headwinds, Jesper says sustainable businesses need to strike the right balance between near-term and long-term thinking. "I think a long-term view gives you perspective. Then I think you should operate with a short-term anxiety and drive," Jesper says. "Governments and presidents will come and go, but the issues about climate change and about resource scarcity will remain."    William Prince of Wales launched The Earthshot Prize in 2020 to find and scale innovative solutions to the world's biggest environmental challenges by 2030.

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich. In our third episode of the week, we're talking to Zurich Insurance Chief Sustainability Officer Linda Freiner. Zurich Insurance is one of the world's largest insurers, serving over 82 million customers in more than 200 countries and territories across multiple types of insurance, including property & casualty and life insurance.   Linda explains how the insurance industry is evolving to address climate change. She says climate mitigation and adaptation are both needed to build systemic resilience amid compounding global crises.  "You can no longer look at climate risk on its own, or geopolitical risk on its own, or social risk on its own. They're all interconnected and they're all compounding," Linda says. "As an insurance company, it's our job to help our customers navigate those risks and build the right resilience measures in place to be able to withstand the shocks." This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we talk to Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they're navigating the sustainability landscape. Linda says the CSO role has "changed tremendously" in recent years. Now, she says, "it's about the focus on execution. We have set all the big commitments. We have put out the plans."   The All Things Sustainable podcast will be back with more special coverage from Climate Week Zurich throughout the week, so please stay tuned.  Learn more about events S&P Global is hosting during Climate Week Zurich: Climate Week Zurich 2026 : Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity | S&P Global  Listen to all the episodes in our CSO Insights series: CSO Insights by All Things Sustainable - YouTube  Listen to previous episodes of the All Things Sustainable podcast about insurance and climate:  Why all eyes are on insurance in climate risk conversations | S&P Global   Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations | S&P Global  What the LA wildfires show about climate change and the future of insurance | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER  By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the first-ever Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich.   In our second episode of the week, we're talking to Switzerland-based EFG International, a global private banking and asset management group. We sit down on the sidelines of Climate Week Zurich with Melanie Beyeler, the bank's Global Head of Sustainable Investing.   Melanie outlines the landscape for sustainable finance and where she sees continued investment opportunities. "If you listen to the market chatter, you might think that sustainable investing is out of fashion, there is hardly any demand left — but then if you look at the data, you get a very different picture," she says. "For us, sustainable investing starts with a very practical question: What will the world need more of in the future, and which companies are well-positioned to provide it?"  Melanie says companies need to treat sustainability as a strategic management tool to build value.  "If sustainability is only done for the photo opportunity, for the annual report, you will always struggle to justify the cost," she says. "But if it's used to make the business more efficient, more resilient, better prepared for the future — then the case becomes much, much stronger."  The All Things Sustainable podcast will be back with more special coverage from Climate Week Zurich throughout the week, so please stay tuned.  Learn more about events S&P Global is hosting during Climate Week Zurich: Climate Week Zurich 2026 : Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER  By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Recorded live during DC Climate Week, the Grow Everything team sits down with investors Veronica Breckenridge, Jillian Chase, and Michael Luciani to unpack the real state of the US bioeconomy race with China, why fermentation and scale-up capacity are a persistent bottleneck, and how policy, non-dilutive funding, and better founder execution can close the gap. The panel argues that the US still leads in innovation, AI, and robotics, but needs faster, clearer regulatory pathways and smarter go-to-market strategy, including focusing on high-margin “profit pools” first, designing for manufacturability and downstream processing, and building consumer demand through clearer storytelling about health and product benefits.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything. Biology is the oldest technology. And it can be engineered. What are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(00:00:00) Live from DC Climate Week: intro and panelist lineup(00:06:00) US vs China: how real is the biomanufacturing gap(00:12:00) Policy signals: DOD, DARPA, and non-dilutive funding(00:18:00) Biggest bottleneck: fermentation infrastructure and scale-up capacity(00:24:00) The “graveyard” lessons: downstream costs and manufacturability(00:30:00) Go-to-market strategy: profit pools vs TAM, and unit economics(00:36:00) Consumer storytelling: health, microplastics, and demand creation(00:42:00) AI + robotics: how they change the bioeconomy race(00:48:00) What unlocks US biomanufacturing: regulation and faster pathways(00:54:00) What to watch next: RNA, peptides, and proof of profitable companiesLinks and Resources:D.C. Climate WeekGraveyard ReportNSCEBSynBioBeta Pass - Discount code: Grow Everything Topics Covered:bioeconomy, biomanufacturing, synthetic biology, fermentation, biological materials, industrial biotech, US-China competition, venture capital, bio-based supply chain, biodiversityHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by: Nihilore Production by: Amplafy Media

The second annual DC Climate Week took place April 20-26, and in this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we're exploring two key themes that are front and center in Washington, DC: the proliferation of data centers, and diminished federal support for science and research.  All Things Sustainable was the official podcast of DC Climate Week and in today's episode we sit down with some of the week's speakers to unpack the climate implications of both topics.    DC is where federal regulations and laws are passed, and DC Climate Week co-founder C'pher Gresham explains how developments in the nation's capital often reverberate across the US and globally.  We talk with Brandon Jones, President of the American Geophysical Union, a professional society for earth and space scientists. He says waning support for science is causing major ripple effects throughout society that will require courage, connection and creativity to solve.  "We have to rethink how we're going to engage to make sure we have the future that we want and we need," Brandon says.  AI and data center demand were another big area of focus during DC Climate Week. The Northern Virginia communities around DC are home to rapid data center growth, and Udit Garg tells us how this could impact the energy transition. Udit is Senior Vice President of Research & Development at Arcadia, a global utility data and energy solutions platform. He says the current process for permitting energy and electric transmission infrastructure needs to be fixed to allow projects to come online faster to meet growing energy demand.  And we speak to Xan Fishman, Vice President of the Energy Program at DC-based think tank the Bipartisan Policy Center. Xan says energy permitting reform is one area that could garner bipartisan support in Congress.  Further listening:   California's biggest utility talks decarbonization, climate adaptation and AI energy demands  The rise of billion-dollar US weather and climate disasters | S&P Global  All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich May 4-9.

It's Climate Week in San Francisco! So, in this episode, we're discussing the work the SFMTA does to give people environmentally friendly transportation options. From Muni to EV charging stations at the curb, it's not hard to go green while getting around the city. The episode features conversations with SF Environment Executive Director Tyrone Jue, Muni Zero Emission Program Manager Bhavin Khatri and SFMTA Parking and Curb Management Planner Broderick Paolo. 

Switzerland's largest city is hosting its first-ever Climate Week, and All Things Sustainable is the official podcast. In this episode, we preview what to expect from the inaugural Climate Week Zurich May 4-9.   Zurich is a global banking and financial hub, and Climate Week Zurich Managing Director Johannes Pokorny explains how the city plans to convene financial institutions, business leaders, policymakers and the public across hundreds of events to scale climate action.   "At Climate Week Zurich ... we're not talking too much about what should be happening in 20 years, but really more about what should happen now," Johannes says.  Nic Meyer, Chair of the Climate Week Zurich board, tells us how the gathering is taking inspiration from Climate Week events gaining momentum around the world. He says Climate Week Zurich will focus on building the business case for sustainability.   "If you're going to build change, you ultimately need to convince the CFO and the board and the stockholders, the shareholders, that there's a dollar behind this," Nic says. "Governments alone can't do this. So businesses have to step up."  S&P Global Energy is a founding partner and sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich and will be hosting events throughout the week. Learn more here: Climate week Zurich 2026 : Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity | S&P Global  Other upcoming events:  The All Things Sustainable podcast will be live in London April 29.

As Mumbai hosted its first Climate Week, the spotlight is on how India's fast-growing cities will navigate the accelerating energy transition. Renewable power is now cheaper than ever, electric vehicles are expanding globally, and India has emerged as one of the world's largest generators of wind and solar energy. Yet the shift away from fossil fuels is proving uneven. Regulatory bottlenecks and financing gaps are slowing the pace of change even as electricity demand surges. That demand is set to climb further with the rapid expansion of AI and data centres, raising fresh questions about energy sources and long-term lock-ins. At the same time, Mumbai faces intensifying heatwaves, heavier rainfall and the long-term threat of sea-level rise, vulnerabilities that sit uneasily alongside large-scale infrastructure projects and rising air pollution levels. Urban planning choices made today, from coastal development to transport electrification, could determine whether the city builds climate resilience or compounds future risk. Can India's growth story remain compatible with its climate commitments? Will rising power demand from technology and infrastructure revive fossil fuel dependence, or accelerate clean electrification? Can India's financial capital turn climate pressure into an opportunity to lead?

Every plate we serve carries a climate cost—and every decision we make about food has the power to change that story. This week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE, I'm joined by Anya Doherty, environmental scientist and founder of Foodsteps, to talk about the role food plays in tackling climate change. Anya's research at the University of Cambridge helped lead the largest experimental trial on carbon labelling for food—and revealed that labels alone weren't enough. Real transformation happened when chefs, procurement teams, and food leaders saw the data behind their decisions and acted on it. Now, as corporate clients increasingly demand emissions data, the food industry faces new urgency—and opportunity. Anya brings her global experience working with businesses serving hundreds of millions of meals annually to unpack what that means for all of us. Together, we'll explore: ▶︎ The key challenges food companies face in reducing emissions today—and how to drive meaningful action. ▶︎ The myths about food sustainability that are holding the industry back. ▶︎ Why supply chain transparency isn't as simple as many believe. ▶︎ How reducing food emissions can strengthen both the bottom line and guest experiences. As we recognize Climate Week in New York, this conversation is a reminder that food is one of the most powerful levers we have to protect the planet—and that safe, sustainable, and inclusive dining should be the default, not the exception.

Recorded live at Climate Week New York, in this episode we ask ‘why should retailers embrace the circular economy?'The global food system is responsible for a third of greenhouse gas emissions, and is vulnerable to supply chain shocks. Our guests discuss why circularity must be easier, more convenient, and more irresistible than the linear option, and why retailers and brands need to invest in shared solutions to scale a circular economy for food.Joining the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Executive Lead for Retail, Reniera O'Donnell, are:Nate Hurst, Chief Sustainability Officer at VisaBurgess Davis, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer for North America at PepsiCoScot Case, Vice President of Sustainability for the National Retail FederationLearn more about retail and the circular economySign up for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's North America newsletterHelp us spread the word about the circular economy!

A live discussion with Sanya Carley and David Konisky, authors of the new book Power Lines, on the inequities that define America’s energy system—and how they could carry into the clean energy future if left unacknowledged. --- In this special live episode of Energy Policy Now, recorded before an audience during Climate Week at the University of Pennsylvania, guests Sanya Carley and David Konisky discuss their new book Power Lines: The Human Costs of American Energy in Transition. The book explores how America’s energy system both reflects and reinforces deep social and economic divides, and why a cleaner grid won’t automatically lead to a fairer one. Drawing on a decade of research and stories from communities on the front lines of the energy transition, Carley and Konisky show that before the nation can make progress toward energy justice, it must first recognize the people and places most affected by the inequities built into the system. Power Lines explores how those inequities shape lives and communities across the United States. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes Faculty Director of the Kleinman Center and Presidential Distinguished Professor of Energy Policy and City Planning at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design. David Konisky is the Associate Dean for Research and a Lynton K. Caldwell Professor at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. Together, they co-direct the Energy Justice Lab. Recorded live at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy during Penn’s Climate Week.

In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Melissa Fifield, Head of the BMO Climate Institute, and John Uhren, Managing Director of Sustainable Finance at BMO Capital Markets, reflect on what they saw and heard at Climate Week New York and the trends that will drive sustainable business and investment in the future. “A phrase I heard a lot throughout New York Climate Week was around climate pragmatism, being eyes wide open around what needs to happen for sustainability to be properly characterized and prioritized by different businesses,” said Uhren. “When you focus on the pragmatic parts, the efficiency gains of looking at things like EV drivetrains over combustion engines, for example, or heat pumps over boilers, these all make commercial sense for a business.”

Industrial policy, supply chain security, and economic competitiveness are central to how we think about clean energy deployment. As the Trump administration pulls back federal support for the clean energy transition, there are more and more calls for pragmatism and realism.  The shifting conversation around clean energy is visible in other ways, too. During last month's Climate Week in New York, there was more focus on a broader set of energy policy goals that included not only decarbonization but also energy security, energy affordability, and energy for economic development. So what does effective energy policy look like in this new era and under new pressures? How should we balance climate ambitions with energy security and economic competitiveness? And what does all of this mean for domestic leadership and investments in things like manufacturing and modernizing the electricity grid? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Sarah Ladislaw about the risks and opportunities they both see in this evolution towards building a better energy system. Sarah is managing director of the US Program at Rocky Mountain Institute, where she leads work on federal, state, and local energy policy, and runs the New Energy Industrial Strategy Center. Previously, she worked in the Biden White House, leading climate and energy efforts within the National Security Council. Before that, she was senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

In this new episode of Energy Vista, Leslie Palti-Guzman speaks with Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega, Director at IFRI, who brings a European lens on U.S. energy policies. Together, they unpack Trump's “energy dominance” agenda and its ripple effects across the Atlantic.Key themes include: The U.S. as an unapologetic energy superpower betting on gas, coal, nuclear, and next-gen tech to fuel its AI-driven future. The transatlantic trade discussions over methane regulations, tariffs, and climate ambitions. Europe's scramble to replace Russian gas and the enduring role of U.S. supplies. China's rapid pivot to renewables, nuclear, and transmission at staggering speed while doubling down on coal and other fossil fuels. What all this means for energy security, climate policy, and industrial strategy.

Recorded in front of a packed room at NYU's Kimmel Center during Climate Week NYC, Ed Crooks and Amy Myers Jaffe moderate a debate on the high-stakes topic of AI and energy. They dig deep into the questions raised by the surge of investment in data centers: what it means for grid stability and electricity bills, and how new technologies and market structures can help the power industry adapt.Climate Week this year often felt more like AI Week, given how many discussions were centred around it. To explore the issues, the team Ed and Amy are joined by representatives of two of the key companies at the heart of the revolution. Josh Parker is Head of Sustainability at NVIDIA, and Craig Sundstrom is Head of Energy & Sustainability Policy at AWS. Xizhou Zhou, Wood Mackenzie's Head of Power and Renewables, also joins the discussion, to add his perspectives on how the industry is changing The load shock is real. Xizhou says that more than 116 GW of US data centers are under construction or fully committed to interconnect in the next few years: equivalent to about 15% of US peak load today. After two decades of flat demand, the electricity industry must rebuild its muscle memory for rapid infrastructure build-out. US power prices went up 6% in the past year, with rates in some states going up far more. What is driving that surge? And what can be done to provide some relief for hard-pressed consumers? One answer comes from rapid progress in the technologies that make AI possible, including the chips. NVIDIA's Josh Parker notes NVIDIA has cut energy use for inference tasks by 100,000× over the past decade ,and by about 30× in just the past two years. Craig from Amazon explains how new grid-enhancing technologies could quickly make a difference, pointing to an AWS/RMI study showing that 6.5 GW of extra capacity could be freed up on the PJM grid without building any new transmission lines. He adds that AI is already helping in California, where smart battery dispatch is cutting costs in real time. Data centers don't only use electricity for computation: they create a lot of heat, too. Josh says there are ways to use that heat, and describes Scandinavian projects that use it for their local district heating networks. With geothermal and new small modular reactors unlikely to reach widespread deployment until well into the 2030s, the panel agrees that the real solutions in the next few years lie in upgrading transmission, expanding storage, redesigning rates, and building in flexibility.It's a busy and lively discussion, with a couple of questions from the audience answered by the panel.

Tim Gill is a London-based independent scholar, writer and consultant on childhood, and a global advocate for children's play and mobility. He is the author of Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Urban Planning and Design Can Save Cities and No Fear: Growing Up in a Risk Averse Society. We met Tim when he appeared on a panel with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo that Sarah moderated during Climate Week in New York. When we heard what he has to say about cities and children, we knew that we had to have him on the show. So we grabbed him before he could leave New York. We talked on a bench in City Hall Park on a weekday morning, so you can hear the sounds of a city that is waking up and going to work and school in the background. It was an appropriate setting for a chat about how we by making cities better for children, we make them better for everyone.  Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive exclusive access to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers! ***Our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, will be published on October 21, 2025 by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Pre-order now.*** Find us on our book tour in San Francisco, Vancouver, Washington, DC, Portland, OR and more.

At the United Nations this week — during “Climate Week” in New York City — Donald Trump delivered what may be the most honest climate speech ever given by an American president. He called climate alarmism “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” mocked failed doomsday predictions, and warned global leaders about the dangers of the green agenda.On Episode #175 of The Climate Realism Show, we'll break down Trump's historic remarks, highlight why no other world leader (except maybe Argentina's Javier Milei) would dare to speak this bluntly, and cover more Crazy Climate News of the Week from Climate Week in NYC.Join Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano of CFACT for this live broadcast.

Artificial intelligence is helping to drive up electricity demand in America. Energy costs are rising, and utilities are struggling to adjust. How should policymakers — and companies — respond to this moment? On this special episode of Shift Key, recorded live at Heatmap House during New York Climate Week, Rob leads a conversation about some potential paths forward. He's joined first by Representative Sean Casten, the coauthor of a new Democratic bill seeking to lower electricity costs for consumers. How should the grid change for this new moment, and what can Democrats do to become the party of cheap energy? Then he's joined by Arushi Sharma Frank, an adviser to Emerald AI, an Nvidia-seeded startup that helps data centers flexibly adjust their power consumption to better serve the grid. Sharma Frank has worked for utilities and tech companies — she helped stand up Tesla's energy business in Texas — and she discusses what utilities, tech companies, and startups can learn from each other?Shift Key is hosted by Robinson Meyer, the founding executive editor of Heatmap, and Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University. Jesse is off this week.Mentioned: Democrats Bid to Become the Party of Cheap EnergyThe Cheap Energy Act proposalHeatmap's Katie Brigham on Emerald AI, a.k.a.

At Climate Week NYC continues, the hottest topic is the question of how to meet growing demand for electricity while cutting emissions. In New York State, electricity use is expected to increase by 25% over the next 15 years. To meet that demand, the state plans to add tens of gigawatts or renewables. But that is not enough. It also wants more “dispatchable, emissions-free” power to keep the grid stable, and that includes new nuclear reactors.Back in June, Governor Kathy Hochul asked the New York Power Authority to move ahead with at least 1 gigawatt of new nuclear generation. And the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is exploring what it needs to do to make that happen. Doreen Harris is President and CEO, and she explains to host Ed Crooks that nuclear is a central pillar of an emissions-free power mix.She says New York's plan isn't about bringing back old reactors like the ones at the Indian Point nuclear plant, controversially closed in 2021. The state wants new designs that are safer, modular, and more efficient. NYSERDA is leading a “Master Plan for Responsible Advanced Nuclear Development”, expected to be published by end of 2026, to explore technologies ranging from large reactors to small modular and micro reactors. Ed and Doreen discuss the plan, and the barriers and opportunities for nuclear in the US.Support from federal, state and local governments is going to be essential to make new nuclear construction a reality. But backing from the private sector will also be essential. Nick Campanella is a Senior Equity Research Analyst at Barclays investment bank. He says new nuclear investment will move forward only if three pieces line up: clear policy support, customers willing to buy the power, and an EPC ready to build the plant.Nick and Ed discuss the cost overruns and delays that have plagued nuclear projects in the West. Hyperscalers might be able to get costs down by committing to multiple reactor builds at once. The ‘first-of-a-kind' project is always risky. The ‘nth-of-a-kind' developments that benefit from the lessons learned on previous projects should be more predictable, and less costly. Nick believes it is quite possible that a final investment decision to build at least one new nuclear plant in the US is very possible before the end of 2026. If that happens, the first project to go ahead could be for large plants, not small or micro reactors. The US grid doesn't need tens of megawatts; it needs thousands.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's New York Climate Week this week, and we're bringing you highlights from all the key debates and discussions. Climate Week NYC is one of the most important gatherings in the energy calendar, bringing together business leaders, investors, scientists, campaigners and policymakers to discuss the global effort to prevent catastrophic global warming.Last year, confidence in renewable energy was riding high, but now the conversation is shifting toward the challenge of meeting rising electricity demand. The race to achieve the most advanced AI capabilities is widely seen in the energy industry as the most urgent issue it is facing today. And that is creating challenges for the drive towards decarbonization.At the Climate Week opening ceremony, Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, said that climate advocates have “not explained to people in the right way what needs to be done”. He urged them to connect their messaging to immediate, everyday issues rather than distant disasters. To discuss all this, host Ed Crooks is joined by Helen Clarkson, CEO of the Climate Group, which puts on the event. She describes Climate Week NYC as the “green room for COP,” a place to sharpen focus before the big UN negotiations that are this year being held in Belem, Brazil, in November. While climate ambition is clearly faltering in the US, she says, there are rapid shifts under way elsewhere, such as the explosion of cheap rooftop solar in Pakistan. As this divide opens up between the US building on its strengths in fossil fuels, and other countries embracing low-carbon technologies, America risks losing competitiveness, she warns. Plus, the financial analyst's view on the big themes of the week. Will Thompson is a Director in the Thematic Investment Research Team at Barclays Investment Bank, and he spends a lot of his time at the moment thinking about the intersection of AI and energy. He talks to Ed about how AI is driving a surge in electricity demand, with US data centers potentially doubling their share of the nation's power use by 2030. And he describes the “power wall” facing AI: a looming bottleneck when companies want more power than the grid can provide. To overcome this, tech giants are moving toward distributed or “bring your own power” solutions, such as on-site natural gas plants and battery storage, he says. This shift prioritizes “speed to power” over cost and could push up emissions in the near term. Will and Ed discuss permitting delays, grid constraints, and fragile supply chains as the major barriers to accelerated investment in electricity supply capacity. There is bipartisan urgency in the US to secure AI dominance over China.

Following the rollback of key climate provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act, the debate over America's energy future is increasingly contentious. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has eliminated, or at least cobbled, many of the clean energy incentives that were centerpieces of Biden-era climate policy.  This week, climate policymakers, business leaders, investors, and advocates are converging in New York City for Climate Week. With so much happening and many questions around the pace of the energy transition, it's a crucial moment in US energy policy. So how are policymakers facing these challenges and working to accelerate clean energy deployment in a shifting political environment? What does pragmatic energy policy look like in an era of deep partisanship? And what should the policy response be to rising electricity demand in the US? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks to Congressman Sean Casten about the current state of clean energy deployment in the US. Congressman Casten represents Illinois's 6th congressional district and serves on both the House Financial Services Committee and the Joint Economic Committee. He's also vice chair of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition. Before entering Congress, Rep. Casten was a clean energy entrepreneur and consultant, serving as CEO of Turbo Steam Corporation and as founding chairman of the Northeast CHP Initiative.

Planning to attend NYC Climate Week?Already there!? When Nico realized he had to make a last-minute trip to NYC this week during climate week, he reached out to two friends who could give him a solid education on what to expect (and where to focus) for this week's NYC Week. Whether you're flying in from the West Coast or crossing borough lines, this episode is your essential survival guide to one of the most chaotic, inspiring, and decentralized climate events on the planet.Nico did a live stream last week with Silas Mähner, co-host of the Cleantechies Podcast, and Steven Zhang, the resource genius behind ClimateTechList and Interconnection.FYI. Together, they unpack the who, what, where and of course the WHEN of Climate Week—from invite-only rooftop dinners to jam-packed founder meetups and satellite panels hosted in every corner of Manhattan.Expect to learn:

As climate action shifts east and south, some would-be Climate Week attendees are staying away due to visa hassles, fears of invasive immigration procedures and risk of detention. The rollback of US climate policy likewise has global effects as the Trump administration strongarms nations into buying US gas and weakening climate policies and upends global trade with mercurial tariffs. “The Europeans are not buying it,” Carbon Tracker's Mark Campanale told Amy Cortese on the latest Agents of Impact podcast. 

Host Brian Walsh takes up ImpactAlpha's top stories with editor David Bank. Up this week: Foundation leaders “unite in advance” of expected attacks in the supercharged political environment; how the carbon credit platform Rubicon Carbon is using diversification and ratings to strengthen the market for voluntary carbon credits (07:20); and the bumpy road to the sustainable future as charted by Generation Investment Management's annual Sustainability Trends Report (15:05). Bonus: a preview of next week's Agents of Impact interview with Carbon Tracker's Mark Companele.Story links:“⁠Foundation leaders ‘unite in advance' of expected attacks on spending and speaking⁠,” by David Bank.“Rubicon's ‘all of the above' plan to diversify and rate the market for carbon credits,” by Erik Stein.“Ten slides that chart the bumpy road to the sustainable future,” by Amy Cortese.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Cary Fowler, President of the new Food Security Leadership Council and Anna Nelson, Executive Director of the Food Security Leadership Council.
