Factor This! Episode 20: Clean energy is popular but NIMBYism remains potent. What gives?

Solar and wind enjoy broad public support, but the fight in Congress over the Inflation Reduction Act showed that the industry can be held hostage by a single vote, as proven by Sen. Joe Manchin’s nail-bite tactics.

And for all the IRA promises to do to fuel clean energy deployment, the law doesn't cure the industry's persistent NIMBY problem.

On Episode 20 of the Factor This!™ podcast, veteran clean tech communicator Mike Casey shares his vision for establishing long-term political power to prevent the next Manchin-like holdout.
We're also joined by SOLV Energy CEO George Herschman, whose company is developing the largest solar project in the US, to share strategies that clean energy developers can use to overcome NIMBY opposition.
