The Energy Gang

The International Energy Agency has once again revised its figures for renewable energy upward, showing that the industry continues to outperform previous projections. But is the industry truly ready to address climate change? This week, the Energy Gang will look at which sectors are leading and why. We'll also analyze the international clean energy trade dispute between China and the U.S. and take a look at the political reaction to Obama's recent climate speech. The Energy Gang is produced by Greentechmedia.com. The show features engaging discussion between energy futurist Jigar Shah, energy policy expert Katherine Hamilton and Greentech Editor Stephen Lacey.

After promising to deal with climate change in his second term, President Obama unveiled a comprehensive climate plan this week. But how comprehensive is it? We'll take a look at the details and debate its effectiveness. We'll also take a look at the importance of data privacy issues in the energy sector in the aftermath of revelations about the NSA data mining program, and ask whether the U.S. has hit "peak car."

In this week's show, the Energy Gang talks about the strong growth in U.S. solar PV, debates the future of offshore wind, and asks whether utilities are prepared for true "grid resiliency" in the face of extreme weather. (Ironically, the episode was recorded in Washington, DC just minutes before a short, powerful storm overtook the region and knocked out power to thousands.)

Welcome to the first episode of the Energy Gang -- an energy digest hosted by cleantech journalist Stephen Lacey, energy policy expert Katherine Hamilton and energy futurist Jigar Shah. In this week's show we'll talk about leadership changes in Washington, the health of leading electric vehicle companies, and whether attacks on state-level renewable energy programs are backfiring.
