Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"Why Green Tariffs Are Reshaping Industrial Electricity","slug":"why-green-tariffs-are-reshaping-industrial-electricity","published_at":"2026-07-03T07:10:41+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-green-tariffs-are-reshaping-industrial-electricity","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0088.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0088.mp3","summary":"Episode 88 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack the rise of green tariffs—specialized electricity rate structures that let large industrial buyers source 100% renewable power through utility grids. They examine Google's 2024 green tariff deal with NV Energy for its Nevada data centers, which locked in a 15-year contract for solar-plus-storage at a fixed rate, and how that model is spreading to manufacturers like steel and chemical plants. The hosts discuss why green tariffs are cheaper than building dedicated solar farms, how they create a secondary market for renewable energy credits, and the tension between corporate decarbonization and grid reliability. They also note that 35 US states now have utility-approved green tariff programs, up from just 12 in 2020. A specific, numbers-driven look at one of the quietest but most impactful innovations in the energy transition. #GreenTariffs #RenewableEnergy #CorporatePPAs #GridDecarbonization #IndustrialElectricity #DataCenterEnergy #Google #NVEnergy #SolarPlusStorage #RenewableEnergyCredits #UtilityRegulation #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #ClimatePolicy #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #ClimateEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 88 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack the rise of green tariffs—specialized electricity rate structures that let large indus…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1067,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/episodes/why-green-tariffs-are-reshaping-industrial-electricity/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-green-tariffs-are-reshaping-industrial-electricity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
