OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, panelists from CFR’s Climate Realism Initiative discuss Financing the Missing Middle, a collection of policies and strategies to help bridge the gap in private funding that inhibits energy innovation in the United States. This “missing middle” slows or blocks technologies that could help the energy system become more secure, affordable, and sustainable, and weakens U.S. firms relative to Chinese and other international competitors.
