Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy is crucial for funding, researching, and testing emerging energy tech.
Now, in the Biden era, the agency is orienting itself toward deployment. How difficult is that transition?
Our former co-host Jigar Shah joins Stephen, Katherine, and Ed to discuss his experience running the Energy Department’s loan programs office.
In March, Jigar left his position at Generate Capital (and this podcast) to head into government service and run the loan programs office. Jigar has $40 billion in authority to back a wide range of climate technologies -- and he’s been working on the first round of investments with those dollars.
In the second half of the show: a surprising twist in the global clean-energy transition. How much trouble will energy price inflation cause around the world?
