Decommission Mission: US Engages on Renewables & Retiring Coal Plants (with Amb Robert O. Blake)

Reformasi Dispatch discussed Indonesia's energy transition with Robert O. Blake, the former US ambassador to Indonesia and now a senior advisor to US Special Climate Envoy John Kerry.  The US has identified Indonesia as a country with promising prospects for cooperation on climate action and Ambassador Blake recently concluded a high‑level visit to Jakarta on the topic.  Decommissioning coal-fired power plants is a priority -- as is progress on regulatory reform to facilitate investment-grade projects for renewable energy. 

Also: Jeff and Kevin discuss acrimony surrounding preparations for the Bali G20, as well as the president's latest stance on election postponement and some difficult fiscal choices ahead amid high energy prices.
