Why Geothermal Energy is the Next Big Thing - Dr. Marit Brommer, International Geothermal Association 50:17

منذ 6 أيام50:17

50:17

“When we think about sustainable living, it's not just about electricity. Energy encompasses more than electricity. As we advocate for sustainability and net zero, let's not forget the heating and cooling of our homes, businesses, and industries - geothermal is a direct resource for that.” Dr. Marit Brommer on Electric Ladies Podcast Drilling for geothermal energy - the heat beneath our feet - promises to be one of the most sustainable sources of energy and a game changer for the clean energy transition. One of the biggest opportunities lies right here in the U.S., where we have the largest installed capacity for geothermal electricity generation. Reflecting the tremendous potential of this energy source, $31 million in funding was announced for geothermal energy projects in late-2024, subject to evolving federal funding guidelines. Listen to Dr. Marit Brommer, CEO of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) and a geologist and expert in geothermal energy. Prior to joining the IGA, she was an exploration and production technologist at Shell and Total Energy. You’ll hear about: What geothermal energy is, its applications, and its potential to be a significant player in the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. Role of the International Geothermal Association in guiding the proper management of geothermal energy projects. Effective policies to support geothermal development are essential to overcome the initial financial and technical risks. Why the connection between geothermal energy and lithium production is an interesting proposition for the sector. Plus, career advice about claiming your space. "Get your voice heard, claim your seat at that table and understand that you don't take no for an answer. No man has ever asked me how to land his next job, get to the next career point, or do something professionally - but women do. “The point is, we women are ultimately raised to be nice. There's nothing wrong with being nice, but in your professional life, it's equally important to stand up, know your worth, not shy away from that, claim your seat, prepare, and network.” Dr. Marit Brommer on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan’s Forbes piece on New IRA Funding Available For Geothermal Energy - Learning From Iceland and more articles here .

“Thinking about an opportunity to rebuild... So now what are we going to do? And, how do you rebuild in a way that actually does involve equity and equality and sustainability in ways that impact people of all different kinds. And that's, I think, the opportunity that we should be looking toward." Majora Carter on Electric Ladies Podcast After devastating wildfires reduced entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles to ashes, the city faces the challenge of rebuilding - not just its infrastructure, but its communities. This is an opportunity to integrate climate resilience, especially for marginalized communities, while reshaping the heart and soul of urban spaces in the process. Listen to this episode of Electric Ladies Podcast, where Joan Michelson speaks with urban revitalization expert Majora Carter about transforming cities into more equitable, sustainable, and vibrant communities. Majora discusses the challenges of preventing displacement in post-disaster recovery and shares her innovative approach to community development that encourages residents to invest in and remain in their own neighborhoods. These lessons apply not just to Los Angeles, but to communities everywhere. You’ll hear about: How urban design shapes socioeconomic opportunities and why it matters. The power of Third Spaces - shared community spaces that foster resilience and connection. Why “low-status” neighborhoods struggle to retain talent and how strategic investment can change that. How cities can integrate climate resilience measures without worsening inequality. The unique role of women in revitalizing communities. Plus, career advice on owning your expertise. “I think there need to be more women stepping up and realizing that they proudly should play the game…I hear a lot of women second guessing themselves before they step out on their own. And that is what we have to recognize. We have so much to offer, and half this battle is just us opening our mouths and letting it out.” Majora Carter on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan’s Forbes articles here .

3 Reasons Why Clean Energy is Here to Stay – Jennifer Granholm, 16th U.S. Secretary of Energy 22:10

منذ 19 يومًا22:10

22:10

“Deploy, deploy, deploy. More than half a trillion dollars has been invested in the United States since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the bi-partisan Infrastructure Bill. These laws have made investing in America irresistible. They have made the energy transition inevitable - and inexorable.” Speech by Jennifer Granholm Federal-level developments have delivered a series of blows, leaving many of us questioning the future of clean energy, sustainability and climate action. If you’re feeling that uncertainty, this week’s episode is for you. Listen to this powerful speech by Jennifer Granholm, 16th U.S. Secretary of Energy (2021-2025), who used her final public address in office to herald the clean energy revolution underway in the U.S. Her words will leave you feeling optimistic and inspired by the opportunities this transition is creating, as it also makes communities more resilient to the ravages of climate change that we have all been witnessing. Granholm lays out three powerful reasons to believe that the clean energy transition is built to last. She delivers a powerful reminder about how the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Bill, and the CHIPS and Science Act have sparked investments across America, driving record-breaking economic growth (including mostly in Republican-dominated states) with an energy revolution that she says is here to stay.You’ll hear about: Powerful statistics from the Department of Energy, such as how 98% of the programs have received at least one round of funding under the existing regulations. The 900 new clean energy manufacturing facilities and expansions across the country, many in communities that previously suffered from job losses. Advancements made in battery supply chains, nuclear power, and other clean energy technologies. How the baton is now handed to us, to advocate for these laws and ensure their continued support through our representatives in Congress. Plus, career advice from Rachel McCleery , former Senior Advisor, U.S. Treasury Dept., Office of the Inflation Reduction Act, featured in Joan Michelson’s Forbes piece on How Women Can Look At Their Careers Differently In 2025, Especially In Climate, Energy . “You have to have a little bit of fearlessness at this stage of your career. You have the ambition, you have the drive, you know how to do it, you have the confidence. But confidence and fearlessness, to me, they are two very different things. And in order to take that step, you have to be able to take some risks and you have to assume space that you haven’t before.” Rachel McCleery on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan’s Forbes articles here . You’ll also like: Gina McCarthy , Fmr. White House National Climate Advisor & Climate Policy Head, on how climate policy boosts the economy Heather Boushey , White House Council of Economic Advisors, on how federal funding is expediting the energy transition while helping to avert the worsening effects of climate change Tara Giunta , Global Co-Chair of ESG & Sustainable Finance Practice at Paul Hastings Law Firm, on climate risk disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission Lisa Jacobson & Tara Narayanan , Bloomberg New Energy Finance, on why the energy transition is in full swing despite headwinds Halla Hrund Logadottir , Director-General, Iceland’s National Energy Authority, on how the country has become 85% renewable energy.

Women Leading the Charge for Renewables – Gauri Singh, Deputy Director-General of IRENA, the International Renewable Energy Agency 50:10

منذ عام واحد50:10

50:10

“Renewable energy is women-friendly. It has the potential to be customised for every use case, but I don’t think enough has been done. Women have always been both producers and consumers of energy, from gathering firewood to cooking. What’s needed is for women to understand that this is an area where they can make a difference and adopt this energy source that is modular and customizable [for their needs].” Gauri Singh on Electric Ladies Podcast COP28 set an ambitious goal to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. Achieving this target requires countries to deploy clean energy to billions of people around the world. With investments in regulatory frameworks and grid infrastructure, there is a critical opportunity for women around the world to be involved in - and benefit from - the transition to clean energy. Listen to Gauri Singh, Deputy Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), who is leading the way in the deployment of renewable energy in more countries. She has over 30 years of experience in renewable energy and sustainable development, including the development of India's National Solar Mission. You’ll hear about: How is IRENA working with countries to develop tailored policy and regulatory frameworks to support their renewable energy goals. The shift in focus from renewable energy costs to issues around grid integration, storage, and flexibility. The unique opportunities renewable energy presents for women's economic empowerment and food security. Plus, career advice on getting out of your comfort zone, breaking out of career stereotypes, and finding good mentors. "It's important to get out of your comfort zone. You really need to push yourself to get out of the comfort zone because that's what gives you growth. Every woman has within her the potential to break boundaries. These boundaries are there to be broken.” Gauri Singh on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan’s Forbes articles here . You’ll also like: ICWS Webinar , moderated by Joan Michelson, on the future of the energy transition and the grid.

Infrastructure is still being built. I’d say the train has left the station." Joan Michelson on Full Crew Podcast The U.S. government has provided $7 billion in funding for critical minerals and $7 billion to fund 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

Connecting with Curiosity – Jennifer Hough, Author & TEDx Speaker 1:16:10

منذ عام واحد1:16:10

1:16:10

“If you want to get something done in this world that transcends what’s already happening, you have to be willing to listen to the people that are trying to hold dearly to how it has been. Become a master bridge builder. Be committed to asking questions such that you understand where the commonality is. Find the common points.” Jennifer Hough o n Electric Ladies Podcast At the end of a year where every country and neighborhood seems more divided than ever, and many of us feel like we’re walking on eggshells in every conversation, we’ve found ourselves in uncharted terrain. How can we prevent tightly held agendas, biases and self-interests - conscious or unconscious ones - from derailing meaningful interactions, whether at a dinner table or in the workplace? In my final episode of the year, I’m revisiting a powerful interview with Jennifer Hough, author of “Unstuck,” TEDx speaker and advisor to leaders. In this interview, Jennifer draws on the laws of physics to offer insights into “regenerative conversations” – where we walk away more informed and empowered. One key takeaway: asking someone “What is important to you?” helps you understand their deepest values and frame conversations in ways that build bridges, not walls. Whether as a parent preparing for a new school year, a professional leading a team, or simply someone looking to strengthen your personal and professional relationships, this episode is filled with actionable wisdom to help you connect more effectively. You’ll hear about: How to listen differently to the climate deniers and others afraid of (any) change. What “cognitive dissonance” is and how to transform it. How to talk about climate change in a way that builds bridges. How to incentivize people to see solutions differently. *BONUS* Set yourself up for success in the year ahead As highlighted in my latest piece in Forbes , 2025 holds tremendous potential for women. To seize these opportunities, it’s essential to own the space you occupy, own your knowledge and own your expertise. As we wrap up 2024, I’m leaving you with powerful career advice from Jennifer: Be clear about who you are and your purpose. Work with a mentor or guide to develop both personal and practical skills. Let go of the need to do everything yourself. Accept help at a deeper level than you may be used to, and never stop seeking support. “‘What’s the greatest thing that you can do with the skill sets you already have that might leave you feeling fulfilled, that you went to bed that night knowing that you did what you came to the planet for and you woke up in the morning excited about getting up?” Jennifer Hough on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan’s Forbes articles here . You'll also like: Jill Tidman , Executive Director of The Redford Center, a nonprofit that produces and support environmentally-focused documentaries and media, on how to talk about climate change.

Ann Friedman , Founder and CEO of Planet Word Museum, about the power of language and how we communicate across various media and formats. Paula Glover , President of the Alliance to Save Energy, on how talking about – increasing – energy efficiency helps build bridges to solutions to mitigating climate change.

Plus, here’s some insightful career advice, such as… “Think about your career as a business…Try to always have a mindset of kind of what I want first…What organizations do I want to work with? Where, what kind of responsibilities do I want to have? And maybe I do it through a traditional employer employee relationship, or maybe I just branch out on my own and just do it right?

Buying Sustainable Fashion at the UN - Joan Moderates Climate Week 31:24

منذ عام واحد31:24

“Women make up 80% or more of the garment industry workers. Women garment workers make meager wages and work excessive working hours, 14 to 16 hours a day…Fashion is ranked as the second most polluting business in the world by the UN, 7% of the landfill is garments. The garment industry emits 8 to 10% of global CO2 and 500,000 tons of micro plastics are dumped into oceans each year.” Joan Michelson at UN Climate Week SDG Media Zone The fashion industry faces the twin problems of being an environmental disaster, and treating their majority female workforce very, very badly, even dangerously badly in many places. The good news is that some creative, determined, resourceful women are working on both challenges at once. You’ll meet a few of them in this episode of Electric Ladies Podcast. It’s a live recording of Joan’s recent conversations with a few of these creative women who are creating and teaching sustainable fashion, while helping the women in their communities. It’s an event at the United Nations for Climate Week at the SDG Media Zone sponsored by the PVBLIC Foundation and the Fashion Impact Fund. You’ll hear about: How women in New York, Africa and India are finding ways to help other women learn, manufacture and sell sustainable fashion; Where they are securing the funding for their small businesses and nonprofits. How you can buy sustainable fashion and support the women working there. Plus, insightful career advice: “I think one thing that we can talk about is buying less, right? Part of the problem is there's this like rampant over production. And so, if we buy fewer things, but nicer things and take care of them for longer, that would definitely I think help women. I think buying in general, from women owned businesses, buying locally, like community based. Those are ways that people can be more sustainable. And again, thinking about how to extend the life of your garments.” Ngozi Okaro on Joan’s UN Climate Week panel Read Joan’s Forbes articles here .

Scaling Donations – Kate Williams, 1% For The Planet 51:54

منذ عام واحد51:54

51:54

“1% for the planet is really set up as a way to sort of break it down, and create a pathway to action that kind of gets us through the overwhelm. So, the way it works is that we have businesses who are our members, and they're actually supporting environmental partners at the level of 1% of revenues….You invest in the things that matter and the planet matters. …(The point is to) drive impact at scale. And so, in terms of that scale, last year we certified US$100million of support going from these companies to environmental partners….When a company joins, they pay a dues fee to us, but then the rest of their 1%, they will give directly to environmental partners….And then at the end of each year, we certify that giving.” Kate Williams o n Electric Ladies Podcast It's a time of year when people are thinking about making donations. So we want to talk about what nonprofits can really do, especially in partnership with the private sector and the public sector. It's about coming together, leveraging each other's strengths and networks to have a much larger impact. We sure need to have a much larger impact right now. So, how do we scale donations? Listen to Kate Williams, CEO of 1% For The Planet on how they help companies of all sizes and shapes leverage their donations strategically for their goals in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You’ll hear about: How 1% For The Planet works – and why they certify their members’ donations. How their Planet Impact Fund works – and the four areas they focus on. Stories of donations that made a big difference, and creative ways they did it Trends they have seen I the corporate donations over the past 10 years. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “A couple things. One is, step forward and step up before you think you might be ready.… Becoming a CEO or C-suite can be one way that you progress, but you can also just become really deeply knowledgeable in a particular area.… Sometimes as women and just as humans, we can maybe hold ourselves back.

“You need to be looking 360 in terms of industry, what's developing, what's coming down the pike from a technology standpoint, from a risk standpoint. You should be educating yourself constantly and stretching yourself to go into a new area. Don't just be content to sit and do the same thing….Push yourself to do something a little different, stretch…because that broadens you as a professional, first of all. It's just so much more interesting than doing the same thing every day. But, it also makes you a better professional… because you are seeing things that the other people who are just doing the same old, same old, aren't necessarily seeing.” Tara Giunta on Electric Ladies Podcast The air is electric with the range of changes swirling around us.

That's just two years. This is a 10-year bill…To me, what's most exciting is that the opportunities are real, and you can grab them.…Already 3.4 million families have grabbed Inflation Reduction Act tax breaks, and put solar on their roofs, made their homes more energy efficient, which considerably lowers energy bills for those families. And, when you get into families and communities and people can see and feel the benefits, that's when it's going to take off. And so I'm seeing that happening already, but we're also recognizing that we just have a, a wealth of broader opportunities available.” Gina McCarthy o n Electric Ladies Podcast In this year’s historic election, many people may be confused about how climate policy relates to the economy – or they may think it’s only an economic drain.
