On "eco-modernism".

Ted Nordhaus, co-founder and executive director of the Breakthrough Institute, talks to Leigh and Alex the 20th anniversary of "The Death of Environmentalism" and the 10th anniversary of "The Ecomodernist Manifesto". We discuss:

The fundamental philosophical differences between "building-out" and "restraint".

Whether industrial policy like the Inflation Reduction Act is in line with the ecomodern approach

Why environmentalism differs in the US versus Western Europe

Why modernisation gets lost in discussions on the environment

What techno-optimism and what techno-fixes are

What the Abundance Agenda is
