Fossil fuel divestment ain’t what it used to be. In a good way, if you ask advocates.In this episode — the second episode of Political Climate's special DITCHED miniseries — we get further into the weeds on what’s driving the Divest/Invest movement and where it’s going. We cover a lot and connect the dots in an interview with Justin Guay, director of global climate strategy at the Sunrise Project.Prior to joining Sunrise, Justin managed grant-making and strategy development for global coal campaigns at the ClimateWorks Foundation and Packard Foundation. He also ran the Sierra Club’s International Coal Campaign, with a special focus on international finance.In this conversation, we discuss how cutting off the flow of capital into fossil fuels has taken on a variety of different forms, as well as lessons learned from coal divestment that could influence a shift away from oil and gas. Justin addresses the tricky question of whether making fossil fuels harder to finance will actually curb demand for these products. We also talk about what a future without fossil fuels would look like, and how it could affect individual workers and even geopolitical relations. And that’s not all. We launched the DITCHED miniseries to shed light on the divestment movement, and the growing trend of moving money out of fossil fuels and into more sustainable investments.

Healthcare Realty is a real estate investment trust focused on medical properties. Its Socal portfolio controls close to 750,000 square feet of space. The big Reason why they bought the Taj Mahal is because it's across the street from Saddleback Memorial Hospital.The Taj Mahal was designed by Burke, Kober and Nicolais, an architectural/engineering firm that also did work on Leisure World projects in Laguna Hills and Seal Beach. The building also held offices for Leisure World’s developer Ross Cortese.architect David Jacobson was quoted as saying the Taj Mahal “is an excellent example of neoclassical contemporary architecture as exemplified by buildings such as the Dorothy Chandler Music Center in Los Angeles, the Avery Fisher Symphony Hall in New York and the American Embassy in Athens, Greece … These were all timeless, monumental buildings, designed by prominent architects of their time.”As far as their plans with the building, we don’t know yet. But we can all appreciate the building signature look and a marvel the pretty penny Healthcare Realty paid for it.
