Episode 066: Dispatches from COP27 with Capital Power’s Brian Vassjo

Recorded in the delegate zone of the United Nations Climate Conference, COP27, at Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in mid-November 2022, episode 66 features a conversation with Capital Power President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Vassjo. In a wide-ranging conversation we discuss the phase-out of coal electricity generation in Alberta, capturing carbon and producing carbon nano tubes, Capital Power’s shift to decarbonization, and new incentives for innovative generation in the United States, with its Inflation Reduction Act, and in Canada, with new Investment Tax Credits announced in the Fall Economic Statement. Brian also shares his perspectives and impressions of the UN Climate Conference. And we close with a book recommendation to add to the Flux Capacitor Book Club list.
