Bob Keefe Exec. Dir. 'E2' / Non-Partisan Environmental Entrepreneurs

PART ONE OF A TWO PART SPONSORED FEATURE PROMOTIONAL INTERVIEW

I love innovators especially when they’re working on things that benefit everybody. 

I’m shining a light on E2, a National ‘Non- Partisan’ Group of Business Leaders, Investors, and others who advocate for policies that are ‘ good for the economy and good for the environment’.  They’re passionate that those policies and projects already committed to continue on… because… hello - they're working.

I'm sharing an education on 'the big picture’ regarding what’s going on here in the U.S. as a result of the federal investments in climate mitigation and clean energy. 

First up to join me is Bob Keefe, Executive Director of E2. Bob explains how that funding and those policies are creating 1000’s of new jobs, driving economic growth and rebounding our economy. Bob  also wrote the book ‘Climatenomics’, and speaks regularly about the economic benefits of smart environmental policies.

Next I hosted Sandra Purohit, E2’s Director of Federal Advocacy (in the next separate podcast segment that follows this one.)

One successful example that both E2 members point to, happens to be in the area near where I live in the Hudson Valley in NY. A company called Zinc8 has developed innovative battery technology that uses zinc and air as fuel and is redefining long duration energy storage. They’re now an anchor tenant in a 3 decades long empty IBM site in upstate NY, creating 500 new jobs as well.

E2 members are passionate that what they’re doing us good for everybody. They’re concerned that thousands of just announced clean energy and infrastructure jobs and billions in new federal investments for similar meaningful projects are suddenly in jeopardy.

They want you all to pay attention and understand what’s going on. So they stopped by and asked me to share their message. Which I was happy to do.

If you know me I don’t talk politics but …I do talk ‘relevant.’
