On a global basis, investment in fossil fuel-based electricity generation has declined to less than 20% of all dollars invested in new electricity-generating infrastructure. Our first guest in this week's episode, RMI's Principal Energy Strategist Kingsmill Bond, discusses his recent co-authored report, Peak Fossil Fuel Demand for Electricity, and what the beginning of the end of fossil demand for power generation means.
Then, we speak with BloombergNEF Senior Contributor Nathaniel Bullard, whose annual State of the Climate and Decarbonization identifies trends and changes across the climate and energy space. His most recent assessment aligns with Kingsmill Bond's report, indicating that wind and solar are driving power generation capacity growth. What does this mean for investments in electricity generation infrastructure? How could permitting reform impact this trend? Listen to find out.
