Description

Renewables are getting really cheap. But does that mean we need to get rid of all subsidies to support them? Many experts argue that we just need to retarget government support in a smarter way.
In this week's show, we’ll explain how that might be done for both renewables and nuclear.
Then, in a related conversation, we’ll ask whether nuclear needs to be included in state-level renewable energy mandates.
We'll end with a look at a landmark agreement between the U.S. and India that could leverage $1 billion for off-grid solar and microgrid projects.
