This Week in Cleantech (TWIC) offers a weekly roundup of the top five news stories in climate and clean energy in fifteen minutes or less. If you are feeling overwhelmed by energy industry news, this is a great shortcut. TWIC is co-hosted by Factor This’s Paul Gerke and Tigercomm’s Mike Casey.
Mike Casey fills in for Paul Gerke and breaks down the week’s biggest cleantech stories, including Tim Pawlenty taking over SEIA, CMBlu’s $58 million flow battery raise, Fervo Energy’s massive geothermal IPO, and EDP’s bullish outlook on U.S. renewables despite political headwinds. WIRED reporter Molly Taft joins to discuss how AI data centers are driving a surge in gas turbine deployments and whether renewables can realistically keep pace with exploding power demand.
