S3:E14 Carbon Price, Power, and Politics with Neal Dikeman- Part 1

Hosted by Lisa Ann Pinkerton

Hello Earthlings! In today’s episode, our host Lisa Ann Pinkerton (CEO of Technica Communications), and guest Neal Dikeman (co-founder and Partner at Energy Transition Ventures, as well as Chairman of Cleantech.org) discuss the vastly complex politics of carbon credit and carbon offset! Lisa Ann and Neal explore the juxtaposing goals of using carbon credits to offset carbon emissions and speak about whether or not we’re doing the right thing, or if we’re just throwing money down the sink!

We learn about the incentives for politicians in the climate crisis and Neal explains how we can use these incentives to cause meaningful change for our planet.
