What happens when clean energy momentum meets political pushback?

In this episode of Climate Confident, I’m joined by Chris Moyer, President of Echo Communications Advisors, to unpack the chaos, and opportunity, unfolding in U.S. climate policy. Chris has spent nearly two decades working with senators, presidential campaigns, and advocacy groups to shape the messages that influence climate legislation, clean energy investment, and public support.

We dive into how states and startups are keeping the energy transition alive despite federal rollbacks, the growing momentum behind geothermal energy, and why how we talk about climate change might be just as important as what we do.

This conversation is essential listening for business leaders, policymakers, and climate professionals navigating global energy politics, corporate sustainability strategy, and net zero goals.

🔍 Topics covered:
• Climate policy in a divided America
• The role of strategic messaging in clean energy
• State-level leadership on net zero
• Geothermal’s comeback
• Why permitting delays matter
• Corporate advocacy and risk
