Making that transition, quickly and cost-effectively, means unprecedented and coordinated work at all three points of the \u201cClean Energy Triangle\u201d \u2014 Technology, Policy and Finance. \u00a0We need to develop and deploy major low-carbon technologies in all four of the key energy-using sectors at unprecedented scale. The success of this effort will require aggressive policy-making at all levels of government &#8211; international, national, state and local \u2014 and unprecedented amounts of private and public capital, from high-risk early stage R&amp;D and venture investing to late-stage project and infrastructure finance. The speaker has worked across all three points of the Clean Energy Triangle\u00a0\u2014\u00a0as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy, Google\u2019s Director of Climate and Energy Initiatives, co-founder of the nation\u2019s first renewable energy project investment fund, and founding executive director of Stanford University\u2019s Center on Energy Policy and Finance. \u00a0Most recently, he brokered a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/13\/climate\/environmentalists-hydropower-dams.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/10\/13\/climate\/environmentalists-hydropower-dams.html&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1631103558241000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHLWkBeudz98jQ4dQuQc3rqkqyaXA\">major agreement between the U.S. hydropower industry and environmental community<\/a>\u00a0on a new coordinated and better-funded approach to the nation\u2019s more than 90,000 dams, called the\u00a0\u201c3Rs\u201d: rehabilitate some for safety; retrofit some for power; and remove some for conservation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dan_W._Reicher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Dan Reicher<\/strong><\/a> is a senior research scholar at the Stanford Woods Institute for Environment.
