13 statements about Decarbonization, every show
Lacey: State energy policy focus has shifted from decarbonization to affordability
“I think we're well beyond decarbonization. Certainly decarbonization is really important for many state leaders, but the affordability and economic growth issue is front and center, as you said.”
Kann: Clean power, electrification, and clean fuels drive global decarbonization
“Decarbonize electricity, electrify everything that you possibly can, and then basically pick up the pieces. Everything that's remaining, like, figure it out through clean fuels, or carbon management, or whatever it might be.”
Lubbershane: Surging electricity costs could cause voters to abandon decarbonization
“If the power sector isn't able to make it through this period and it results in People unable to build new manufacturing facilities, new data centers in a timely fashion. And if it results in kind of costs starting to spiral out of control, electricity costs s…”
Stein: Decarbonization is impossible without electric utilities participating
“There is no way we are going to be able to do it without the participation of utilities.”
Alströmer: Decarbonization transition is much larger than software
“In that transition, we're talking about trillions of dollars of money moving from things that cause climate change to things that don't.
Like, as the scale of this transition is not something we've seen recently.
Like software,
It's not that big in comparison.…”
Kann: Solar will be the primary technology driving global decarbonization
“I continue to fundamentally believe that solar is going to be the bedrock of decarbonization. Put another way, if you ask me what single technology will do the most to mitigate climate change, short of some potential geoengineering or nuclear fusion future, my…”
Elkabetz: Decarbonization impact will take 50 years to be realized
“Even if we're successful, which I really, really hope we will be in decarbonization, we'll see the impact in 50 years.”
Yergin: Near-term fossil supply and decarbonization goals are not fully reconcilable
“Yeah, I don't think they're necessarily totally reconcilable, actually.”
Webber: Decarbonization will reduce water intensity by 2036 despite severe strains
“And so I think there'll be some celebration of how the process of decarbonization reduced our water intensity overall, but we're still going to have some pretty severe strains we have to deal with.”
Hernandez: People-centered climate policy motivates more than abstract carbon targets
“And that people-centeredness is an important component because it also is something that can be, like, more motivating than just talking about decarbonization and carbon tax and, I guess, abstract and more scientific concepts that doesn't really relate to how,…”
Atkinson: Only six US utilities target full decarbonization by 2030
“It's really only six utilities in the country that have set goals that are that short term for full scale decarbonization.”
Lubershain: Energy systems must preserve gas infrastructure optionality during decarbonization
“I'm not positive gas is worth preserving for the long haul, but I think I think it's important to preserve optionality to use gas, and also more importantly, the infrastructure that gas flows through today through a period of decarbonization.”
Schneider: Conventional wisdom views decarbonization as a poor VC fit
“Right now, I'm learning or trying to learn about decarbonization to see if there's a seed stage investment opportunity in that space, and it's been challenging because it's a totally new area for me, and also the conventional wisdom is that it's not a good pla…”
