Description

While estimates vary, many suggest that $100 trillion will be required to transition to a clean energy/carbon neutral environment by 2040-50.  This course will cover the potential sources of this capital as well as where it will need to be invested from solar and wind (on and off-shore), to hydrogen, renewable natural gas, storage and transmission, to carbon capture.  Included will be the structural alternatives for these investments, the legal issues that must be considered, the impediments that must be resolved, and the U.S. government’s role in incentivizing and subsidizing the energy transition.
