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

They analyze how President Biden can better sell all of his legislative successes to the public, including the 'Inflation Reduction Act.'

The pair also discusses how states are leading the way in innovative policies to address pollution from fossil fuels, and how it has now become good politics to deal with pollution and reduce our planet-killing emissions.

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.
