Recorded in the delegate zone of the United Nations Climate Conference, COP27, at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt on November 15, 2002, episode 67 features a conversation with Electricity Canada’s Vice-president of Government Relations, Michael Powell. Following a week at COP27, Michael talks about what it’s like to attend the UN Climate Conference, how the experience is different this year due to the location of the event, the different experiences at the event for negotiators versus the majority of attendees at the pavilions, who we get to meet and work with, and how the discussions here connect to politics and policy back home. I even get a book recommendation from Michael to add to the Flux capacitor Book Club list.

Recorded in the delegate zone of the United Nations Climate Conference, COP27, at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in mid-November 2022, episode 66 features a conversation with Capital Power President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Vassjo. In a wide-ranging conversation we discuss the phase-out of coal electricity generation in Alberta, capturing carbon and producing carbon nano tubes, Capital Power’s shift to decarbonization, and new incentives for innovative generation in the United States, with its Inflation Reduction Act, and in Canada, with new Investment Tax Credits announced in the Fall Economic Statement. Brian also shares his perspectives and impressions of the UN Climate Conference. And we close with a book recommendation to add to the Flux Capacitor Book Club list.
