For the week of December 23rd, 2014, this is the Energy Gang from Green Tech Media. media. your editor with Green Tech Media, usually in Washington, D.C., but coming to you this week

from a basement in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. I'm not visiting the girlfriend's family this week

for the Christmas holiday, so it is a mobile recording setup for me.

I think they did a TV show out there in rural Wisconsin

from a basement.

I assume you're referring to that 70s show.

Yeah, did they actually legalize pot down there in in Wisconsin as well?

No, it's sort of like that show because everyone is 30 to 50 years older and there's no marijuana.

Well, I'm not just in a basement, I'm actually in a basement closet to avoid noise in the house.

So Jigger, you came to us from a Starbucks this year and a variety of places on the road. Catherine came to us from a town hall in the Adirondacks,

and I figured it's only fitting that I pick a weird spot to record from.

So back in their usual spots are my associates Jigger Shaw and Catherine

Hamilton you just heard from Jigger he is a clean tech investor and he's based in

New York City you spreading any holiday cheer over there Jigger?

Well you know I did go by Rockefeller Center and

see some of the windows in front of Lord and Taylor it really is a festive time

do you have a lot of family there your Your wife is still in Africa, correct?

No, she came back for the holidays and her brother just had a baby, so my in-laws are staying with us,

and so we're hosting Christmas on this side of the house.

Oh, that's great.

Well, Catherine Hamilton is in Washington, D.C.

She's a partner with the Public Policy Firm 38 North Solutions.
