This Week in Cleantech is a weekly podcast covering the most impactful stories in clean energy and climate in 15 minutes or less featuring John Engel and Paul Gerke of Factor This and Tigercomm’s Mike Casey.

This week’s episode features Seth Borenstein from the Associated Press, who wrote about how worldwide installations of renewable energy hit a new high last year, driven largely by China. 

This week's "Cleantecher of the Week" is Andrew Reagan, President of Clean Energy for America, who is one of the many clean energy advocates on Capitol Hill pushing the Trump administration to keep the energy tax credits that create good-paying jobs, lower energy bills, and strengthen domestic manufacturing. Congratulations, Andrew!
