The Ezra Klein Show · Yes, Biden’s Green Future Can Still Happen Under Trump · 20 Dec 2024 podcast

There will be an LPO next year. There will be an LPO. And we have 212 active loan applications seeking $324 billion. And my advice to the next LPO director is enjoy this extraordinary team that we were able to build. Enjoy the amazing people who have decided to interrupt their careers and move it here to the loan programs office and to the Department of Energy.

And dream big, do big, figure out how to help these American innovators and entrepreneurs realize their dreams.

Oh, my goodness. I was supposed to be prepared for this. Well, you know, the book that has forever changed my life is Nassim Nicholas Tlaib's book, Fooled by Randomness. I read it before I started SunEdison a long time ago, and it reminds me today that all the things that people take credit for A lot of it was luck, and it's important to figure out luck versus what you actually did.

The second book would be What If We Get It Right by Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson, and she is such an inspiring person. I've had the pleasure to know her for years, and she's really attracted many of the brightest minds in the climate movement to really think through what this looks like and how this can be really a positive world that we're going into.

Because I really do think that getting this right is going to be an amazing future for all of us. And then the last book was, I recently read Romney, A Reckoning by, I think, McKay Coppins.

And I think that when you think about his journey, right, and the journey of many folks who just want to do right by people, who just want to make this place the best version of what America can be, I just think it's super inspiring.

Thanks for having me.

Odd Lots · Jigar Shah on the Three Big Things Driving the Nuclear Energy Revival · 30 Sep 2024 podcast

It's so great to be in the studio.

Thanks for having me.

Well, look, I think that when you think about what happened through historical context in the nineteen seventies, we had high inflation.

Right.

And nuclear power was subject to high inflation.

And so, you know, part of this is people were already worried about building new nuclear plants before the incident occurred because

Things were just getting more expensive, right?

I mean, when you think about the utility bankruptcies that occurred, right, way back when it was because it had cost overruns on nuclear power, right?

And so so I think that in general, it it goes to when America stopped believing in itself and its ability to do big things and infrastructure.

And I think this moment with load growth and with the president saying we are.

Going to build big things here, like has gotten people thinking again, hey, what would it take to actually figure this out this time around?

So when you think about building things, like if you were to build multifamily housing and you would build one multifamily housing building versus building twelve right throughout the city, you could imagine if you're using the same design, it would be cheaper, the workers would get better.

You know, the first one would cost more, the second one would cost less, the third one would be even less.
