Bob Perciasepe, president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions’ (C2ES), joins Monica Trauzzi for the fourth episode of “Off the Menu” in Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood. At Dog Tag Bakery, Bob and Monica discuss what it will take to reach a clean energy future and what businesses and financial institutions are doing to make that a reality.
Almost every objective look at a cost-effective way to get a decarbonized electric grid—and do all the other things we need to do—it's a mix of these [electricity sources] that really is needed.
Because America’s nuclear plants provide more than 56 percent of the nation’s zero-carbon electricity, any vision of a clean energy future must include nuclear energy with other carbon-free sources. Watch Bob and Monica talk about the current state of clean energy investment, federal and state policies aimed at decarbonization, and how nuclear energy and renewables can work in tandem to support climate goals.
“Off the Menu” features energy thought leaders at exciting spots in D.C.’s up-and-coming food scene and gives you an inside view of the energy issues of the moment.
