Reprised | Clean Energy Meets Its Match: Crux Accelerates Deal Flow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are trillions of dollars of clean energy projects ready to be built—and trillions more in capital waiting to fund them. But the system connecting the two is too slow, fragmented, and expensive. That gap is what Alfred Johnson set out to close. A former Treasury official who helped steer markets through the 2008 financial crisis and later served under Janet Yellen, Johnson co-founded Crux to build the financial software layer the energy transition was missing. Crux connects developers, manu
The Planet Needs Better Products, Not Better People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People aren’t looking for a mission. They’re looking for products that improve their lives. In this Supercool episode, host Josh Dorfman takes us back to China 30 years ago, when a billion people rode bicycles but nobody wanted one. Everybody wanted a car.

Artifacts from the Future: Reimagining Sustainable Interiors with David Bergman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We think of a building as something permanent. Its interior is anything but. A lease comes up. A new tenant moves in and renovates the space. The building may last for 100 years, but its interiors will be updated again and again. Old materials get ripped out and thrown away. New materials take their place. David Bergman has spent decades working to change how the industry approaches sustainable interior design. He teaches Sustainable Systems at Parsons and directs the world’s only degree program
