Table Of Contents

Political scepticism on climate change

Faison details the hesitation within US political parties, as political incentives work to deter people from seeing climate as the existential threat it is. He further discusses how to get both parties on board through green legislation that allows the private sector to increase the benefits of sustainable innovation.

How to reach congress

Martin and Faison deliberate on pitching ideas to congress with a foundation of trust and like-minded expertise at the helm of policy-making.

Sustainable international policy

The US has been leading in decarbonisation for a long time. Faison explores how the US' sustainable approach towards decarbonisation can be introduced globally through scaling, deployment and export policy.

The future of nuclear

The replacement of coal plants with modular reactors could see nuclear becoming the quickest way to decarbonisation in the 2030s. Faison and Martin consider China and Russia's unknown future through the energy lens, and the possible future of the transition towards clean and domestic energy.
