This Week in Cleantech

The Washington Post

This Week in Cleantech covers Georgia Republicans rallying behind Qcells solar manufacturing jobs despite federal tax-credit rollbacks; Google, Nvidia and major utilities launching a coalition to make data centers flexible grid partners; oil executives warning that a long-predicted fuel crisis, driven by Strait of Hormuz disruptions, has now arrived; and a new S&P Global report arguing rich and developing economies need different transition playbooks. Guest Jake Spring of The Washington Post joins to unpack the EPA's rollback of Biden-era power plant rules. The episode closes with Dulcie Madden of Dig Energy as Cleantecher of the Week.

A pro-cleantech super PAC's primary wins against Republicans who gutted clean energy tax credits; officeholders losing races over data center fights; electricity replacing gasoline as a political flashpoint; Fervo Energy's geothermal deal to power Google data centers; and a Washington Post investigation into how a Trump donor benefited from a canceled offshore wind settlement. Reporter Evan Halper joins to break down that story. The episode closes with Cleantecher of the Week Emily McAteer of Odyssey Energy Solutions.
