Stu interviews Rich Powell the Pastor of Grace Bible Church about his new book "7 WORDS that can CHANGE YOUR LIFE".
Today we had the pleasure of hosting Rich Powell in the studio. Rich Powell is the CEO of ClearPath, a non-profit organization headquartered in Washington dedicated to developing and advancing smart energy policies. We are always eager to connect with pragmatic, balanced, solutions-oriented people and were delighted to visit with Rich. Rich first helps frame our discussion with background on ClearPath's mission and focus areas, their pulse on the developing world's access to energy and how much development there is left to do to, Rich's observations on the evolution of the climate debate since ClearPath was founded eight years ago, the promising future for nuclear energy with bipartisan support, ClearPath's involvement with the Energy Act of 2020, the process for permitting clean energy projects and how pipelines are fundamental, the footprint of prime energy demand, additional opportunities for bipartisan energy policies, the centrist community in Washington, Rich's observations on young people's energy opinions, his takeaways from attending COP 27, decarbonization priorities, the goal to find new technologies that wouldn't need to be subsidized or mandated, and more. We had a hard time ending the discussion and can't thank Rich enough for joining. Mike Bradley hit on three key points for the week including this past weekend's OPEC meeting, the EU's sanctions package starting on December 5th, and potential market reactions to new US PPI data, scheduled for release on Friday. Colin Fenton shared an update on U.S. shale output in the context of overall U.S. liquids and gas production growth. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! Thanks to you all.
The November midterm elections proved better than expected for Democrats, in spite of many predictions of a Republican wave sweeping across the United States. Regardless of what happens in the Georgia run-off in December, Democrats will hold a majority in the Senate. Republicans, however, have taken a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, where they can contest President Biden's climate and energy agenda. Most notably, they could try to minimize the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act and other new laws through oversight and investigations into its funding for various agencies. How will climate and energy policy shake out over the last two years of President Biden's term? Will the administration look to regulatory agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission to move the needle on climate action with a split Congress? This week host Bill Loveless talks with Rich Powell and Aliya Haq. Rich is the CEO of Clear Path and Clear Path Action. Both are DC-based organizations advancing policies that accelerate innovations to reduce emissions in the energy and industrial sectors. He is also the co-chair of the Conservative Climate Foundation. Aliya is the vice president of U.S. policy and advocacy at Breakthrough Energy. Her team pushes for ambitious climate and clean energy policy to help the U.S. achieve its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Previously, she was the federal climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Bill spoke with Rich and Aliya about the election results and how they will impact policy over the next two years. They discussed the possibility of bipartisan action and how a Republican House could influence energy and environmental agencies.
Clean energy isn't just wind & solar. The private sector is revolutionizing clean energy technology that works for all Americans and also boosts our economy.Rep. Burchett sits down with CEO of ClearPath Rich Powell to discuss how businesses are moving clean energy into the future.
Rich Powell talks with Alex about the work ClearPath does to drive policies in support of the energy transition in the US. While much is made of the democrat agenda in this space, we talk about conservative support for the energy transition and the types of programs of work and policies that they are driving to support it. We also touch on the bi-partisan support for certain aspects of clean energy policy and Rich's own views on what needs to be done. From the Clean Energy Act of 2020 to the relaunch of US export credit, from the need for policy that drives investment to the goal of creating a strong export market for US cleantech that can drive energy transition affordably in developing countries - we cover a lot of ground in the discussion about what is needed to achieve global net zero.

February 8, 2021 Founder of Meeteor Mamie Kanfer Stewart and Clean Energy Rich Powell
President Biden’s first days in office mark a sharp shift in US climate and energy policy, with a slew of executive orders reversing several Trump actions and directing federal agencies to pursue a wide range of new regulations in what’s been framed as “a whole-of-government approach” to the climate crisis. Combined with Democrats now in control of both houses of Congress by the slimmest of majorities, the raft of executive orders raises the question of how climate policy will advance going forward. To what extent will it advance through legislation versus executive action? To what extent will legislative action be on party lines? Will there be opportunities for bipartisan cooperation on climate? In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Jason Bordoff is joined by Rich Powell to discuss what to expect in climate policy moving forward, particularly on the Republican side of the aisle. Rich Powell is the Executive Director of ClearPath and ClearPath Action, the DC-based organizations developing and advancing conservative policies that accelerate clean energy innovation. Rich frequently testifies before Congress on climate change and energy innovation. He served as a member of the 2019 Advisory Committee to the Export Import Bank of the United States, and is on the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center’s Advisory Group. Previously, Rich was with McKinsey & Company in the Energy and Sustainability practices. He holds a B.A. from Harvard College in Environmental Science and Public Policy, and a J.D. from New York University.

Tom welcomes a new guest Rich Powell to the show. Rich is the Executive Director of ClearPath, an advocacy group focused on advancing conservative policies around clean energy innovation. Part of that goal is developing the technology behind nuclear and zero-emission clean energy. The world is rapidly advancing and industrializing, and as a result, there are a lot of emissions that countries seek to improve. Electric vehicles and the batteries and equipment involved in these technologies consume large amounts of crucial metals like lithium and vanadium. Countries like China dominate much of this supply chain, and there is a push to diversify supply back to the United States or expand mines to more countries. He discusses the various ways of storing grid energy and the different time frames for recovering that energy. Today chemical storage is dominated by lithium-ion batteries, but there are many other methods. This diversity in storage methods is becoming quite impressive. There are significant hurdles to overcome in educating the public about the risks of nuclear energy, particularly in the United States. He discusses their initiatives to advance nuclear power and the various power projects currently being built in the US.

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.
