Sarah Ladislaw (CSIS) and Kevin Book (ClearView Energy Partners) look at the U.S. climate and energy agenda.  Kevin and Sarah reflect on the outcome of the U.S. elections and the recent Senate race in Georgia, the divided nature of U.S. politics, the riots at the U.S. Capital, and how it all may affect the Administration’s energy and climate agenda.

This week’s Energy 360 is part of our Energy Futures Forum. This annual project looks at trends and their impacts on the energy sector over the next ten years. This year’s overarching theme was Covid-19 and how it has had immediate impacts on the energy sector and what we might see unfold in near and medium term. Sarah Ladislaw (CSIS) talks with the three EFF discussion moderators to get their key takeaways and insights: Nikos Tsafos (CSIS) on the transportation sector, Ethan Zindler (BloombergNEF) on the electric power sector, and Taiya Smith (Garnet Strategies) on China. 

This week Energy 360 highlights our project on Energy Transition Strategies, which examines how emerging economies are balancing economic growth while reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. We looked at three different places: Vietnam, Ethiopia, and the Indian state of Gujarat. In each of these 3 podcasts, Nikos Tsafos and Lachlan Carey talk with an expert about that state’s development and low-carbon transition pathways within the major sectors of electricity generation and access, transport, and industry.  In this final episode of the mini-series, we look at Ethiopia’s pathway. Our guest is Easwaran Narassimhan, a research fellow at the Climate Policy Lab at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University.For more, read Energy Transition Strategies: Ethiopia's Low-Carbon Development Pathway: https://www.csis.org/analysis/energy-transition-strategies-ethiopias-low-carbon-development-pathway

This week our guest is Angus Taylor, the Australian Minister for Energy and Emissions. Joined by CSIS colleagues Sarah Ladislaw and Lachlan Carey, Minister Angus discusses the new technology-led climate approach that Australia is embarking on. They look at the priorities, mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement needed to ensure this is successful and sustained policy. They also look at possible areas of international collaboration on energy and climate issues, especially with a new Biden Administration and multilateral institutions like the G20.Read Australia’s Technology Investment Roadmap: https://www.industry.gov.au/data-and-publications/technology-investment-roadmap-first-low-emissions-technology-statement-2020

This week, we bring you a special two-part episode on the impacts of the U.S. elections on energy and climate policy. Our guests, Kevin Book with ClearView Energy Partners, Kyle Danish with Van Ness Feldman, and John Larsen with the Rhodium Group, join Sarah Ladislaw (CSIS) to share their outlooks for U.S. energy policy over the next 4 years. They look at the big and not-so-big actions and tools that the Biden Administration will have at its disposal to promote its energy agenda across the federal and state-levels.
