"Plugged In" host Neil Chatterjee and energy reporter Breanne Deppisch welcome trading and emissions expert Georges Tijbosch to talk about practical steps that can be taken to fight climate change — including reducing methane gas emissions within this decade.

Tijbosch, the CEO of MiQ says the Biden administration's goals for the energy transition will take time to achieve, but his nonprofit's work of reducing emissions and certifying gas is a large step forward. He added that combatting the energy crisis comes down to three things: Energy sustainability, affordability, and security of the supply.

"Plugged In" host Neil Chatterjee and energy reporter Breanne Deppisch welcome infrastructure expert Ken Davis to discuss the Biden administration's rising energy crisis: grid security. Davis, a former deputy attorney general for the Commonwealth of Virginia, says the challenge must be addressed to ensure power stays online.

While fully staffing transformers and substations to prevent attacks isn't sustainable, he said there must be a way to prevent the grid from going offline. But then another question arises, who is responsible to pay for it?

"Plugged In" host Neil Chatterjee and energy reporter Breanne Deppisch welcome energy expert Heather Reams to discuss how important it is for Republican lawmakers to have a seat at the table when it comes to climate change solutions — and what lowering emissions can do to help the global energy crises.

Reams, the president of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, says after her trip to COP27, she's optimistic about the GOP's opportunities in 2023 when they take over the House majority. She said while it may surprise some that Republicans are showing their support for technology and policies that address climate, the issue is not "red" or "blue," but "red, white, and blue."
