I love this article because it combines everything about this beat:
✅ It highlights a trend underway for a while but largely unnoticed/disconnected.
✅ It illustrates the omnipresent challenge of time when it comes to the energy industry and the climate problem.
✅ It dips into other sectors, like defense and healthcare.

Shocked podcast: Markets for Pollution
The latest episode of Shocked listens like it’s the 1990’s. No, seriously, it goes back in time to when Republicans were pushing FOR environmental regulations, and then we come up to speed to the present on a market-based environmental program in India.
As a reminder: Shocked is a podcast hosted by yours truly and supported by the University of Chicago’s Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth. You can listen to our prior episodes spanning AI’s energy use, geoengineering and more by clicking here.
Bonus: Art + climate
I moderated a discussion hosted by The Nature Conservancy and the Domicile Art Gallery in Seattle, WA, this week. I participated in this with my Axios hat on, and also my volunteer role as a board member for TNC’s Washington chapter. Photo ⤵️
We heard from TNC’s Jamie Stroble and artist Spencer Frazer, whose art collection focused on fire was featured in the gallery.
