Description

On this installment of our series, The Road To COP26 Presented By Octopus Energy, we welcome back Rep. Sean Casten to the show to discuss what global solutions we need to accelerate the adoption of clean energy and what needs to be accomplished at COP26 to help make it happen. We also talk about the obstacles facing the world's clean energy transition - from fossil fuel subsidies and misinformation across the globe to inaction in Congress at home - and what the state of U.S. domestic policy means for the world's ability to decarbonize. Finally, we discuss Rep. Casten's successful #HotFERCSummer campaign and why he wanted to shed spotlight on this crucial regulatory commission. Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero and why governments and financial institutions need to quit funding and subsidizing fossil fuels if they want an inhabitable planet.
