Factor This

Clean energy needs a new bellwether. Who should it be?

Tell us what you think of the show!

Most CEOs are deliberate and careful, often neutering commentary of any hint of controversy. Sheldon Kimber is not like most CEOs.

He's known to pen a thousand words, or two, on the ebbs and flows of the energy transition. His comments are not always complimentary. But they're aimed at pushing the industry toward new heights.

Don't be mistaken— Kimber is deliberate, too. He uses his voice not for attention, but because he passionately believes the clean energy industry needs an unashamed advocate.

His latest campaign may be his most bold. In Episode 75 of the Factor This! podcast, Kimber shares why you should forget everything you know about clean energy development. He's convinced a fresh business model is necessary to sustain an industry battered by rising capital costs, which have shaken even the likes of sector king NextEra.

Clean energy is in desperate need of a new bellwether, and way of thinking, to survive and thrive. Kimber, and Intersect Power, say they are ready to lead the charge.
