Welcome again. We got a great show for you. The gang is here.

Good night. All right, so we were just in a room back there talking for the last hour and then they came in and opened the door, whisked us down a nondescript

hallway, sent us to an unmarked door and the lights are blaring is a little hard to see.

So maybe you can help us out.

I'm not really sure where we are at this point.

Are there any fans of the Energy Gang Podcast in this room?

All right, good, so we're in the right place. With that out of the way, this is the

energy gang from Green Tech media and this week. We are live at WNC's

green space in Lower Manhattan.

I'm Stephen Lacy, a managing editor with Green Tech Media.

Welcome.

Thank you all very much for being here.

We've got a good lineup for you.

We're really excited to be here. We love this venue and we love getting together in a live setting.

So we've got the regular gang here and a couple folks that we're going to initiate in front of a live studio audience

and we'll see how they do here.

Let me introduce my regular co-host, Catherine Hamilton, is the co-founder and a partner at 38 North Solutions.

She's based in Washington, D.C.

She is a resident policy expert.

And despite talking to politicians all day and spending most of her time on

Capitol Hill, she's our resident optimist, which I still haven't figured out.

How are you?
