During the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Tim Zenk, President of Molecule, LLC.

Tim explains how the 'Inflation Reduction Act' will fight climate change. Some of the ways it will do so is by:

- Including huge investments in clean energy

- Keeping President Biden's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 within reach

- Curbing methane emissions, which have been responsible for about 30% of global warming since pre-industrial times

- Emphasizing environmental justice

- Signaling to the global community that the U.S. is serious about doing its part to fight climate change

Tim has worked in renewable energy project development and policy for two decades to build new technologies for difficult to decarbonize sectors. Presently, he is the president at Molecule LLC where he works at the nexus of policy, finance, and technology to fight climate change and support an industrial transformation that is required for the U.S. to remain globally competitive in a zero-carbon future. Here in the U.S., he represents renewable fuels leader Neste, and Hydrogen logistics and aviation pioneer, Universal Hydrogen, among other clients. He is the founder and Executive Director of the Washington Green Hydrogen Alliance and Clean Fuel Washington. He was a senior executive at Sapphire Energy, a company that invented renewable crude oil (green crude) from algae. Earlier in Tim’s career he served in several government roles in the Clinton/Gore White House, in Congress for Rep. Norm Dicks, and on the staff of Washington’s 19th Governor, Booth Gardner.
