Julia Pyper has been at the top of our list since we started The World Changing Podcast in 2022. Why? Julia is known for her in-depth coverage of the clean energy transition, has a cross-party climate policy podcast, "Political Climate," and is now VP of public affairs for GoodLeap - a fin-tech company helping millions of people join the clean energy transition.
Her work has been published in HuffPost, Scientific American, and The New York Times. In this conversation, we dive into the connection between public policy and clean energy innovation, discussing how the Inflation Reduction Act opens up new opportunities for individuals to benefit from adopting clean energy technologies. Julia helps Flo (finally) understand how virtual power plants work. Greg and Julia find a surprising similarity from both of their childhoods growing up on farms.
