As we experience the hottest summer in recorded history, we have a conversation with White House National Climate Adviser, Ali Zaidi, about what the administration is doing to combat climate change. Despite all the recent negative headlines, Zaidi explains to Mosheh why he remains an optimist and the progress that has been made globally in recent years. 

He also discusses the White House strategy regarding clean energy, why electric cars are cleaner than gas-powered vehicles, whether climate change has a “branding problem,” and the latest tax breaks and incentives for Americans adopting clean energy alternatives. 

This conversation comes as the White House gets set to mark the one year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes billions of dollars in climate initiatives as the administration tries to hit ambitious CO2 reduction targets.
