From Green Tech Media, this is the Energy Gang, a weekly digest on energy, clean tech and the environment. I'm Stephen Lacey in Boston.

With America now a climate pariah on the global stage, cities around the country are stepping up their commitments to action.

But are they just cheerleading rather than actually leading?

Our guest this week tells the hard truth about why cities are not living up to their bold pronouncements, at least not yet anyway.

Then a couple big business moves to talk about.

Catherine's a partner with 38 North Solutions.
