Welcome to the Episode 2 of the Climate Money Podcast. Follow the climate headlines — and the climate money — with me, Susan Su.
In this episode, we look at:
- Kenya’s carbon cash cow, a plan to charge a new 15%-25% take rate on all carbon credits minted in the country, and whether this is good, bad or meh for Kenya’s climate ambitions and for global carbon markets
- Solyndra 2.0, a fraud-hunt that’s animating Republicans and threatening the $400B DOE Loan Program Office that is or will be key to many climate companies’ deployment success
- Yikes, JBS. The world’s largest meat processor and Amazon deforester extraordinaire might get blocked from the NYSE, on climate grounds; why it matters
- Italy and France are set to ban cell based agriculture — and why this is a warning for every climate company that regulatory capture might be worse than climate denial
