Shift Key is off this week for Memorial Day, so we're re-running one of our favorite episodes from the past. With Republicans in the White House and Congress now halfway to effectively repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, the United States' signature climate law, we thought now might be a good moment to remind ourselves why emissions reductions matter in the first place.To that end, we're resurfacing our chat from November with Kate Marvel, an associate research scientist at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. At the time, Trump had just been reelected to the presidency, casting a pall over the annual United Nations climate conference, which was then occurring in Azerbaijan. Soon after, he fulfilled his promise to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, with its goal of restraining global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels.In this episode, we talk with Kate about why every 10th of a degree matters in the fight against climate change, the difference between tipping points and destabilizing feedback loops, and how to think about climate change in a disappointing time. 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.Mentioned: The GOP Tax Bill Is a Dangerous Gamble at a Precarious MomentThe UN Environmental Program's emissions gap reportThe IPCC's monumental report on the risks of 1.5C of temperature riseJesse's post-Trump op-ed: Trump Is Not the End of the Climate FightRob's piece from 2023 on the “end of climate science”Trump's Energy Secretary-designate Chris Wright's speech at the American Conservation Coalition Summit--Music for Shift Key is by Adam Kromelow.

Welcome to episode three of the Future of Energy podcast sponsored by the Ershaghi Center for Energy Transition at the University of Southern California. While all of our guests are special, we may have outdone ourselves in this interview. In our episode today and we have a different format where we went on the road and traveled to Denver, Colorado to the headquarters of Liberty Energy to talk to their CEO Chris Wright about the future of oil and gas. Our program sponsor Kyle Koerner is the moderator.Fossil fuels make up over 80% of the energy we use today globally so if there is a meaningful transition, we must develop solutions to replace this traditional, energy-dense, source in the context of rising energy demand. That is a big challenge that Mr. Wright describes. He earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was a graduate student in electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley and at MIT. Chris is passionate about any form of energy that improves human lives.We have so much to talk to Chris Wright about and his responses were so informative that we divided this episode into nine segments, and to add more information we have added some “Did you Know” segments as segues between our conversations. As a spoiler alert and just to name drop, Chris Wright is the new Energy Secretary for the new administration in Washington, so listen closely and take a lot of notes. Just like we did.Check out Bettering Human Lives Foundation https://www.betteringhumanlives.org/ and Flipping the Barrel podcast https://www.youtube.com/@flippingthebarrel

We are very excited to share this Special Edition COBT on the 5th Anniversary of We are very excited to share this Special Edition COBT on the 5th Anniversary of COBT. Our very first show was March 10, 2020 (exactly 5 years ago today!), and we are beyond thrilled that Secretary Chris Wright joined us to commemorate the event. This week will be his debut party at CERAWeek, so the timing could not have been better for a discussion. Secretary Wright was nominated by President Trump to serve as the 17th Secretary of Energy on November 16, 2024, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 3rd, 2025. If you have not yet watched his confirmation hearing, it's a must-see for energy policy insights and is linked here. CERAWeek officially starts today in Houston (agenda linked here) and Secretary Wright was the kickoff speaker Monday morning. In our COBT discussion with Secretary Wright, we explore the expanding role of natural gas in the global energy mix, the rising costs of electricity, and the importance of grid stability supported by natural gas, nuclear, and coal. We discuss regulatory barriers affecting the construction of pipelines, transmission lines, and large-scale energy projects in the U.S. and how AI is shaping the future of energy from advancing fusion energy and grid optimization to breakthroughs in drug discovery and national security applications. Secretary Wright shares his observations that policymakers are becoming more pragmatic about energy affordability and reliability, the need for tailored energy solutions in the U.S. with many states relying on different energy sources, Puerto Rico's ongoing energy crisis and the determination of the current Governor to fix it, pipeline infrastructure challenges in the Northeast, and the important work that U.S. National Labs are doing to advance scientific achievements. We ask Secretary Wright for his thoughts on Europe's energy policies and the unfortunate industrial decline that's happening there, Africa's urgent need for reliable energy, and the complex realities of climate change. Secretary Wright emphasizes the importance of intellectual honesty in energy and climate discussions and shares insights on navigating government bureaucracy, building a high-performing team at DOE, and shaping energy policies that balance security, cost, and sustainability. As anyone who has listened to him knows, the message is “energy addition” and not “energy subtraction.” The other thing that resonates is his clear determination to do what he can to help the nation. A huge thank you to Secretary Wright for joining us today. To start the show, Mike Bradley provided an update on the year-to-date performance for a number of key flavors: the 10-year bond, broader equity markets, energy and power equities, and energy commodities, with an emphasis on the surge in U.S. natural gas prices. A few items were mentioned during the discussion: Secretary Wright's first Secretarial Order is linked here, Jim Ratcliffe's letter on the challenges facing Europe's chemical industry is linked here, and the Bettering Human Lives report is linked here. Today marks Secretary Wright's third appearance on COBT. We previously had the pleasure of hosting him on October 11, 2022 (episode linked here) and September 27, 2023 (episode linked here). As we look back on the past 5 years of COBT, we have had 269 regular Tuesday episodes, 32 Special Edition episodes, and over 320 guests from across the energy sector.

Ashe in America is back with another packed edition of The Brief, exposing the biggest deep state scandal yet, USAID's secret media payroll. Turns out, Politico and other major outlets have been raking in millions in taxpayer money to push regime narratives, and now that the gravy train has been cut off, the meltdown is spectacular. Meanwhile, Trump's tax plan is taking shape, with zero tax on tips, no Social Security tax for seniors, and the biggest middle-class tax cut in history. The climate cult is also on notice, as Trump's Energy Secretary just shredded the net-zero scam, making it clear that America's oil and gas dominance is back for good. And in foreign policy chaos, Trump's Gaza shockwave has world leaders scrambling, with Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt all rushing to D.C. for emergency talks. Was Trump's "Riviera of the Middle East" plan a strategic feint, or is something much bigger in play? The deep state is unraveling, the wins keep stacking up, and we've got all the details.

After last week's bond market jitters, the Chancellor pledged to go ‘further and faster' to improve the UK's anaemic economic growth. It looks as though Rachel Reeves' hunt for growth could come at the expense of Labour's green agenda. Reeves is poised to make a series of announcements over the next month, starting with a softened stance on non-doms and approval for Heathrow's third runway – as well as expansions at Gatwick and Luton airports. The move indicates a shift in priorities, with economic growth taking precedence over climate targets. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, is believed to be privately opposed to the airport expansion scheme. What happened to the ‘green Chancellor'? And is a power struggle emerging between two of the most influential Cabinet members? Also on the podcast: after criticism of Labour's education plans, is it really all Bridget Phillipson's fault? Or is there blame to share around? Katy Balls speaks to James Heale and Michael Gove. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Jennifer Granholm has long been one of the most interesting figures in the Democratic Party. A former federal prosecutor, she was the governor of Michigan from 2003 to 2011, leading the state during the Great Recession and subsequent auto bailout. Since 2021, she has been the 16th U.S. Secretary of Energy. While there, she has overseen the department's transformation from an R&D-focused agency to an aspiring engine of industrial strategy. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob sits down with Secretary Granholm in person in New York to conduct an exit interview, of sorts. What climate policies is she most proud of — and what does she hope Democrats do better next time? What does she wish that Democrats understood about fossil fuels? And what does she think the outlook for clean energy is in the years to come?

They discuss the geopolitical implications of the U.S. election, focusing on potential consequences in macroeconomics, energy policy, and peace. Doomberg voices concerns about escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia during the new administration's transition period, particularly over Ukraine and Syria. Doomberg also explores Chris Wright's appointment as Energy Secretary under Trump, with enthusiasm for Wright's experience, patriotism, and pro-human energy stance. Our green friend also discusses potential ramifications of the 'drill, baby drill' policy, such as increased energy production, economic growth, lower prices for consumers, and challenges for certain energy companies. Doomberg emphasizes speaking up against narratives, particularly those related to climate change and carbon emissions, expressing optimism about a potential shift back to the center or right. He discusses Trump's tariff threats towards countries abandoning the use of the US dollar and Putin's actions in creating dollar alternatives. The uncertain prospects for peace on the Ukraine front are discussed, with doubt about Trump's ability to negotiate a ceasefire and concerns around military solutions instead. He also touches upon Elon Musk and Vivek's roles in the upcoming administration. The current state of gold mining companies and their undervalued status in the market are discussed, along with the importance of primary energy and artificial intelligence to the U.S. Doomberg concludes by advising listeners to closely monitor political developments both foreign and domestic.

Here's the bad news: The world is almost certainly going to miss the Paris Agreement's goal of keeping global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. The needed emissions cuts are too large and the direction of policy too slow to lead to any other outcome. In the next few decades, global warming will slip past the 1.5 degree mark — and temperatures will keep rising.What does that mean? What comes next? And how should we feel about that? On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse chat with Kate Marvel, an associate research scientist at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

TOP NEWS | On today's Daily Signal Top News, we break down: President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission to use U.S. made long range missiles to strike targets inside Russia. Over the weekend, Trump announced that he has tapped Chris Wright to serve as secretary of Energy. Wright is the CEO of a fracking […]

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Chris Wright, a fossil fuel executive with no government experience, to lead the Energy Department, signaling a major push to boost oil and gas. Wright opposes climate action, supports deregulating fossil fuels, and could roll back environmental protections that many Black communities rely on to combat pollution and health disparities. Critics warn this could increase toxic emissions in areas already plagued by environmental racism. Additionally, prioritizing fossil fuels could limit investments in renewable energy jobs, hindering economic opportunities, and communities that have been long underrepresented with clean energy growth.
