Leslie Palti-Guzman exchanges with Amos Hochstein, a businessman and former diplomat at the US State Department. They exchange on timely energy and environmental topics ahead of the US elections: 1) Putting climate at the center of all policies and what it means for foreign policy; 2) China's inconsistent climate trajectory; 3) Cost of the energy transition and need for international/private/public financing; 4) European energy security. At a personal level, Amos opens up about his sense of making a contribution when he worked for the government. He worked also for a gas company and had some explaining to do at home about the role of gas in the transition while raising a Climate generation.
