Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Steyer

In his New York Times-Bestselling book Cheaper, Faster, Better, Tom Steyer reframes climate change not as a crisis to fear, but as a once-in-a-century opportunity to build something better. In the latest episode of Sustainability Leaders, Melissa Fifield, Head of the BMO Climate Institute, and Grégoire Baillargeon, Vice-Chair BMO Climate Institute, sit down with Tom Steyer, Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, to discuss his thoughts on investment opportunities and climate change.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with veteran investor and climate activist Tom Steyer. Over twenty-five years, Steyer founded and ran Farallon Capital Management, a $36 billion multi-strategy global investment firm. In 2012 he stepped away from Farallon to dedicate his time, resources, and energy to mobilizing climate action: clean air and energy initiatives in California; climate focused ballot initiatives in numerous states; youth voter engagement and mobilization (NextGen America); and a 2020 Presidential run largely focused on the climate crisis. Today, Steyer is the co-executive chair of Galvanize Climate Solutions, a climate-focused investment firm, and the author of Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War. We begin the interview by discussing Steyer's parents, both civically engaged members of the Greatest Generation. In his father's case, a lawyer who served in the Navy and then as a prosecutor at Nuremberg. Steyer describes World War II as a crucible moment for Americans — galvanizing collective action and a sense of being part of something larger than oneself. For Steyer, the climate fight is a similar calling. We discuss why, despite current political headwinds, the momentum behind the climate revolution — the transition to net zero via the development and adoption of low carbon technologies — is very much alive, well, and accelerating. In Steyer's view, this is because of the dramatic decline in costs of renewables — solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of energy — and because applied technologies like batteries and electric vehicles continue to improve in quality and cost, driving demand. “This is not eat your gruel,” he says. “It's cheaper, faster, better. When you put eight billion people on a problem, they solve it.” We also explore promising new technologies coming on-line, from geothermal energy and AI optimization of the electric grid to geosynthetic seawalls. While these new technologies will enable the transition, Steyer notes that “climate capitalism” also requires new rules and policies to speed innovation and deployment; ultimately this means paying for carbon pollution. He argues that despite objections to the idea of a “tax,” people are already paying — in the form of destruction to homes, businesses, livelihoods, health — though often it is the most vulnerable, those who have contributed the least to the problem, in the United States and around the world, who bear the cost.   We conclude with a call to action. Historically, Steyer reminds us, “we've chosen to do the right things, even when they're hard, and that has always paid off for us, and it will always pay off for us. That is who we are, and that is where this world is going. This revolution is happening. Our job, as Americans, is to be at the forefront.”  Thanks for Listening!

Solving the climate crisis is not just a moral imperative, but also an opportunity for investors to earn a competitive return for finding and funding the desperately needed solutions. On this week’s episode of ESG Currents, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Senior ESG Analyst Rob Du Boff talks with famed hedge-fund investor Tom Steyer about his new venture Galvanize Climate Solutions. This episode also includes a discussion with Galvanize’s Chief Investment Officer for Global Equities Seth Kirkham from the BI ESG Conference on Dec. 11.

By now, you've likely noticed our refreshed look. We're evolving the show to focus on the inevitable impacts of climate change and the groundbreaking solutions shaping our future.To kick off this next chapter our first guest on Inevitable is Tom Steyer, Co-executive Chair at Galvanized Climate Solutions, a multi-strategy investment firm focused exclusively on the climate transition. A little over a year ago, Galvanize announced the final close of its Innovation + Expansion Fund at over $1 billion, one of the largest climate venture funds ever raised. Tom is also the recent author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War," and he wrote the Forward to Project Drawdown.In 2020, Tom was a Democratic presidential candidate with a climate-focused policy agenda, and he participated that year on the primary debate stage alongside now President Joe Biden and now VP Kamala Harris, among many other notable Democratic party leaders. He's the founder of NextGen America, the largest youth voter organization in the USA, which he created in 2013. But Tom hasn't always been focused on the energy transition and climate change. In 1986, he founded Farallon Capital Management, a multi-strategy hedge fund that he ran for over 25 years and grew to hundreds of employees and $20 billion in assets under management. His story of having incredible success in one field and then feeling the inevitable pull to work on the biggest problem of our time is exactly the type of pathway that we plan to explore on this show. *We recorded this episode live during Climate Week NYC, in front of a fantastic audience.

An American listener, "Tim" from Michigan, quoted Carl Sagan: "Extinction is the rule, survival the exception". Tim has argued, in an email: "If we want to be exceptional we have to move the Overton Window a lot more than Tom Steyer can even imagine". My American friend was commenting on a recent "Climate Conversations" episode featuring a discussion between Steyer and Greg Dalton on "Climate One". The Australia Institute has what it describes as "Australia's Biggest Book Club" and recently the guest was Royce Kurmelovs who has just published "Slick: Australia's toxic relationship with Big Oil". "Shepparton winter weather 2024 wrap"; "‘It doesn't get much more significant': Victorians urged to hunker down amid cold front"; "Would you have surgery if it badly impacted Earth's carbon footprint?"; "Wondering how to get from Brisbane to Melbourne without wrecking the climate? Our transport choices make a huge difference"; "‘It's time to give up on normal': what winter's weird weather means for the warm months ahead"; "Without sanctions, making companies disclose their environmental and social impacts has limited effect"; "Olympic champion joins climate activists for Windsor protest"; "Activists link climate change, Gaza in a campaign targeting Citigroup"; "Virtual reality offers a glimpse of future climate impacts"; "Tree-planting project aims to identify climate-resilient trees"; "Leaders are cutting fossil fuel finance – next comes unlocking clean energy for all"; "‘Immoral and unacceptable': Tuvalu calls on Australia to set urgent deadline to end fossil fuels"; "Obsessing Over Climate Disinformation Is a Wrong Turn"; "‘Twisters': Hollywood's weird spin on tornadoes and climate change"; "Canadian city invites neighbors to tackle climate change together"; "As wildfires intensify, the taxpayer burden is growing"; "If EVs are stalling, accelerate with hybrids"; "Commonwealth Bank CEO labels Greens' tax policy ‘insidious populism' after firm's $9.8bn profit"; "Mali declares state of national disaster over flooding"; "Winter's unseasonal warmth and clear skies are glorious – but a forbidding sign of danger to come"; "At least 170 killed in weeks of flooding in Nigeria, authorities say"; "We invite you on a Transformative Journey"; "How the Heat Is Changing Us"; "Alarm as Australia records ‘gobsmacking' hot August temperatures".

Tom Steyer (pictured) put himself up for election in America's 2020 presidential race, but unfortunately for America and the world, chance did not fall his way. Steyer was a guest on the interview program organised by Climate One and shared the stage with Greg Dalton, the face, and voice of Climate One. Although Steyer never became the U.S. president, he has not allowed that to discourage him and now he has the organisation "Galvanize Climate Solutions.

The leaders at the top of the Republican Party want the U.S. to double down on carbon-intensive oil and gas — and avoid reckoning with the damage they cause.  As temperatures continue to rise, a majority of young Republican voters say clinging to that stance could spell trouble for the sustainability of the GOP. And yet, conservatives aren't a monolith when it comes to climate. A small wing of the party is warming up to the idea of climate action. The question is: Can those Republicans, who take climate seriously, move the needle on bipartisan climate action?  Guests:  Emma Dumain, Reporter, E&E News Heather Reams, President, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions Mariannette Miller-Meeks, U.S. Representative (R-IA 1st District) and Chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus Danielle Butcher Franz, CEO, American Conservation Coalition

The nation's electric grid needs to be expanded and made more reliable for our future energy demands and climate forecasts. The way we've built transmission in the past — regionally siloed with short term planning — is now suffering from reliability and capacity issues and won't work for the next century. The Department of Energy is drafting plans for national transmission corridors to help speed new construction. It's also handing out funds to build new lines and upgrade existing infrastructure to increase capacity. Meanwhile, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently passed a rule requiring utilities to work together and take a longer view on planning their transmission needs. But it will still take years to accomplish these changes. Can we build a robust national transmission system that serves our decarbonized future at the speed we need?

This week we take a trip to Mexico, a petrostate that just elected climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum as its next president. She's also the former mayor of Mexico City, the largest city in North America, which has been going through a major water crisis due to climate change. It's at risk of running out of water — and it has been for a long time. In fact, much of the country is coping with drought and heat waves exacerbated by climate change. Christine Colvin, a hydrogeologist with WWF International, was in Cape Town, South Africa, at the height of a recent megadrought. The city was approaching Day Zero, when it would not be able to supply water to residents. Colvin says that of all the ways climate disruption impacts our lives, the most critical may be to our relationship with water.  "If the climate crisis is a shark, then water are its teeth. This is the thing that's really going to bite us first and hardest."  Guests: Oscar Ocampo, Coordinator for Energy and Environment, Mexican Institute of Competitiveness Christine Colvin, Water Policy Lead, WWF International

Is nuclear power the key to a carbon-neutral future or an accident waiting to happen? Non-hydro renewables such as wind and solar are predicted to play a major role in the future. However, one of these energy solutions has divided public opinion more than others. To mention the name "nuclear" is to conjure up the boogie man or "he who must not be named". By 2050, some 10 billion people will need some form of energy to eat, travel, work and protect themselves from the weather. McKinsey's Energy 2050 research report predicts that demand for electricity will grow twice as fast as demand for transport, while at the same time fossil fuels will decline. So how will we power the future?In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua delves into the controversial topic of nuclear power, exploring its history, potential benefits and risks in the context of the global energy transition. He also highlights the dual nature of nuclear energy as both a powerful source of clean energy and a potentially catastrophic force capable of altering life at the atomic level. To explore the issue further, Kokou orchestrates a virtual Oxford-style debate between experts for and against nuclear power. The pro-nuclear side includes Bill Gates, Ernest Moniz, George Monbiot and James Hansen, advocating for nuclear power as a necessary tool to combat climate change. The anti-nuclear side includes Tom Steyer and Mark Jacobson, who criticise its economic feasibility and safety concerns. Each expert presents their opening statement, outlining their position and the key matters surrounding nuclear power.This episode will help you understand the fears, facts, and fission, so that you can make up your own mind about nuclear power.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors, your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an exploration of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050's challenging global sustainability targets.In each episode, Kokou deep-dives into the events impacting the economy, financial markets, the planet, and society.

Hundreds of billions of dollars have already been invested in clean energy projects in America since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in 2022. With that level of spending, clean energy jobs are on the rise, meaning there's never been a better time to start a career focused on combating the climate crisis. The variety of roles in clean energy jobs means there are plenty of ways you can become a "Climate Person" in your professional life, even if you've been one in your personal life for a while. Being a "Climate Person" also isn't restricted to just careers in clean energy, but also means incorporating climate solutions into whatever it is you do for a living. Tom Steyer, co-founder of Galvanize Climate Solutions, founder of NextGen Climate America, and 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary Candidate joins the show this week to discuss his new book "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War" and strategies for becoming a "Climate Person" at a time when the world needs more of them than ever. We also talk about how turning politicians, business leaders, and investors into climate people will be critical to the sustainability of human life on our planet.

Michael welcomes climate investor and activist Tom Steyer, author of "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War." The climate is changing more rapidly than scientists predicted even a few years ago, with extreme weather already touching our everyday lives. At the same time, the clean energy revolution is forging ahead faster than nearly anyone anticipated. As Tom Steyer sees it, these two trends together create a moment like the one America faced during World War II: on the one hand, an existential threat calling for collective action; on the other, an opportunity to lead the world, protect the planet, and set the stage for a new generation of shared economic prosperity. Original air date 28 May 2024. The book was published on 28 May 2024.

Before Tom Steyer ran for President on a campaign advocating for climate change, Tom Steyer was making money by investing in fossil fuels. But that changed when he realized the natural environment around him was decaying—and the government wasn't doing anything to stop it. On this episode, Chris and Tom explore Tom's concept of "movement capitalism," and how businesses can drive positive climate impact.Show notes from Chris:According to “Banking on the Climate Chaos”, fossil fuel financing from the world's 60 largest banks has reached USD $5.5 trillion in the seven years since the Paris Agreement. If you'd like to find out more about who is financing fossil fuel projects around the world check out their website and annual report at https://www.bankingonclimatechaos.org  If you'd like to learn more about how bringing together economic and social values can help build a better world, former Governor of the Banks of Canada and England, Mark Carney, has written a thought-provoking book called “Value(s)”.

Tom Steyer is a hedge-fund billionaire who made his money investing in distressed assets, including fossil fuel projects. He's also an avowed climate activist and a major donor to US politicians seeking to tackle climate change. After a short-lived run for president, Steyer in 2021 set up Galvanize Climate Solutions, a firm that invests in companies and technologies promising emissions reductions this decade. It recently raised $1 billion.  Zero host Akshat Rathi spoke with Steyer at COP28 in December, to ask why he got out of fossil fuels, the consequences of bad carbon accounting, and what the return of Donald Trump would mean for global climate ambitions.  Read more:  Tom Steyer Launches New Climate Tech Investment Fund With $1 Billion - Bloomberg Greening US Apartments Is New Project of Billionaire Tom Steyer - Bloomberg   Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green.

Welcome back to the show, Brian Hirschman, Managing Partner of Hirschmann Partnership, also known as the “World's Most Bearish Hedge Fund.” Brian explains how many investors are unaware of how to value gold in comparison to other assets. He details a methodology for analyzing the gold price over long periods and notes that it is currently below the fifty year average, which could cause gold to skyrocket in the coming years. Brian outlines why gold did so well during the inflationary period of the 1970s, as it is the only asset with no counterparty risk. The lack of appreciation for gold may be due to bond investors remaining confident in their inflation expectations, but if that changes, gold will rise. High inflation can be caused by excessive debt, which is a problem for the United States and other Western nations, and Brian references the British Empire's debt to GDP ratio and eventual default. Japan's approach is different, but their situation is precarious as well, with Japanese depositors now getting negative returns when adjusted for inflation. This could lead to depositors investing elsewhere to seek returns, which could be a big problem for the Bank of Japan. Brian also discusses how global bubbles are worsening, and why we could see multiple collapses all at once. He gives some targets for where gold and the miners could head as a result, and explains why the Mining ETFs and equities have largely not kept up with the gold price. He notes that A.I. will likely not be the panacea to get us out of the coming crisis, and that demographics are contributing to entitlement problems and a general decline in the labor force, which is not good for GDP.

After GSPS, Brian returned to Los Angeles to join Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management where he was an equity-owner and made over $1 billion in long-term investments.
