In this episode, Atlas’s Nick Nigro sits down with Jasper Jung of GM and Jeff Werner of Panasonic to explore what the global race for clean energy leadership means for U.S. industry and competitiveness today. Drawing on Atlas Public Policy’s new report, we’ll dive into the details of the nearly $1.1 trillion in announced global clean energy manufacturing investments from 2019 to 2025. Batteries play a central role, and gap between China’s manufacturing dominance and the rest of the world is widening. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion about the opportunities and risks facing companies investing in domestic supply chains, advanced manufacturing, and the next phase of the clean energy economy.

In this episode, Atlas’s Nick Nigro will sit down with Monica Lee, Clean Transportation Campaign Director, and Britta Gross from EPRI to unpack how the recent shock to the oil market is causing consumers to give EVs another look. Since the start of the U.S.–Israel war with Iran in February, global oil prices have surged more than 50%, driving U.S. gasoline prices above $4 per gallon. How do prolonged high oil prices impact EV affordability and discussions at home, in fleets, and in legislatures? Tune in to hear a grounded discussion of near‑term solutions and the practical steps that can make EVs a more accessible option during this tumultuous period.

On this episode of Atlas Live, Nick Nigro will talk with two leading journalists—Evan Halper of the Washington Post and Jennifer Hiller of the Wall Street Journal—on all things energy and AI. They’ll explore public discourse on data centers, real and perceived impacts on energy affordability, and what impact we might see on upcoming elections.
