Clean Economy Leadership in the SVB Aftermath

March 31, 2023 13:05 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

Executive leadership in today’s highly-complex innovation economy requires more than the traditional investment in IP, market transformation, and engineers. According to this week’s Age of Adoption (formerly Raising Your Antenna) special guest, the most competitive, resilient startups depend on emotional awareness that begins at the C-Level. This is particularly true in the wake of the Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in March 2023, whereby bank executives made a series of risky decisions with...

December 08, 2022 14:26 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MB

The BlackBerry is now just a distant memory to some, and a fruit to others (ehm, Gen Z) but in 2022, it represented the cutting edge technology that brought AI to your fingertips, one keyboard “click-click” at a time.

New, disruptive technologies are analogous to the type of transformative change Utilidata is leading when it comes to equity, affordability and reliability in America’s energy system.

A New Era of Public-Private Partnerships under the IRA

October 06, 2022 14:12 - 31 minutes - 29 MB

Cities aren’t going anywhere. Half of the world’s population currently resides within them and if their unwavering strength during a global pandemic says anything, they are certainly here to stay. But cities also account for about 75% of global CO2 emissions, and the sustainability and public health challenges they present are substantial. On this episode of Raising Your Antenna, our host, Keith Zakheim and guest, Miguel Gamiño, Jr. will discuss the role public-private partnerships play in m...

Health Equity Issues are Environmental Issues

October 25, 2021 23:04 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

I’m not sure that the climate change and sustainability community would include issues related to the pandemic, biodiversity, health equity, and modern slavery in their definition of ESG.

The Net Zero Backlash Has Arrived

October 05, 2021 04:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Having Joel Makower appear on your podcast is, in the clean tech world, akin to Oprah landing Harry and Meghan. Like Harry and Meghan, Joel is a celebrity in our world, everyone wants to hear what he has to say and he provides salacious details about the royal family. Okay, maybe not the royal stuff. But the rest is true. As the founder and Chairman of GreenBiz — a media and events company that lives, works and leads at the intersection of the business, technology and sustainability — Joel ...

Mobility is Sexy

May 26, 2021 04:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

When we imagine what our energy transformation will look like, we tend to focus on the shiny new toys — solar panels, electric vehicles, Tesla powerwalls, and Nest Thermostats. While those products are necessary for a carbon net-zero future, they are in no way sufficient. Today on RYA, I chat with Benjamin Birnbaum, partner at Keyframe and co-founder of TeraWatt Infrastructure. Ben is consumed with the energy transition technologies that we don’t see, but are critical to fighting global warm...

The Importance of Utility-Consumer Partnerships

April 27, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

It’s not every day that I have the opportunity to interview two utility executives — especially from Texas, and especially a mere two months after the historic freeze in the State of Texas. While we didn’t spend a lot of time dissecting the causes of the February grid failure, much of our conversation addressed the types of challenges, programs and  solutions that utilities — in this case CPS Energy, the nation’s largest municipally owned electric utility — are thinking about and implementin...

AgTech Innovation & Investing with Adam Bergman and Andrew Rose

December 04, 2020 20:36 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

One of the nice things about hosting a podcast is the opportunity to make new friends and reconnect with old ones. On today’s episode of Raising Your Antenna, I was able to do both.

Heather and I had a fascinating conversation that touched on the respective roles of the public sector, both federal and state, as well as the private sector in advancing a clean energy future. We agreed on a lot, disagreed on some, but the tenor of the conversation and one that I hope can be mimicked by our political leaders, was characterized by mutual respect, data-driven arguments, and an understanding that while reasonable people can disagree on how to get there, the goalposts must be c...

Pushing the Boundaries of Sustainable Finance

April 24, 2020 13:03 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MB

When we think about sustainable finance, we tend to focus on the capital needs for renewable energy products, green bonds, and carbon trading and credits. While these are all key components of sustainable finance, they do not begin to tell the full sustainable finance story.  On today’s episode, I speak with Nicole Andersen, Managing Partner of Redsand Ventures. Every organization thinks they are unique, but Redsand, at least from where I sit, really is unique. Redsand specializes in innova...

Demystifying the Retail Energy Market with Jack Doueck and Larry Leikin

August 15, 2019 14:22 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MB

Your energy bill is made up of several charges, including the cost of transmission and distribution of the energy. But only the energy portion of the bill is competitively priced. The wires and pipes that bring electricity and natural gas to your home, business or factory are still owned by the traditional utility company, and the transmission and distribution charges are still set by regulators. But the energy is competitively priced and provided by suppliers, called ESCOs, competing for th...

July 10, 2019 14:27 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MB

Complex problems demand complex solutions. While we would all love to have the silver bullet to solve a marital crisis, business challenges, Middle East peace or climate change, the reality is that the solutions to these types of problems are usually multifarious but related and attack the problem from different directions. On today’s episode of Raising Your Antenna, we are going to address the threat of climate change but from a non-binary, non-zero sum game and a non-linear perspective. G...

Managing the New Urban Transportation Environment with Scott Shepard

May 15, 2019 16:29 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

The range of transportation options at the fingertips of contemporary urban commuters is both astonishing and at times, overwhelming. For the Luddites, filling up your car with petroleum, sitting in a car for an hour and a half to complete a 15-mile trip and then spending a week's worth of salary on parking is still an option. For those that don't want to drive into the office, there is the option of public transportation, a mode of transport that depending on the city can range from clean a...

Shaping the Future of City Mobility with Noam Maital

February 15, 2019 17:51 - 33 minutes - 26.9 MB

The cars get the headlines but the infrastructure and the cities that facilitate building that infrastructure will ultimately determine whether the autonomous vehicle revolution becomes a reality or fades away into the atmosphere like a burned-out comet.
