EP.254 Heather Reams on Conservative Leadership in US Clean Energy Policy

This week on Energy Unplugged, we’re delighted to welcome Heather Reams, President and CEO of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). She joins Oliver Kerr, Aurora’s Managing Director for North America, to discuss the role of conservative leadership in driving clean energy policy and the prospects for bipartisan cooperation.

Heather has led CRES since 2016, building its role as a leading right-of-centre voice for pragmatic clean energy solutions in the US. With over three decades of experience in public affairs and energy policy, she brings a unique perspective on how conservative leadership can advance the energy transition.

Main topics include:

The state of conservative and Republican support for clean energy in the US
The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) on investment and tax credits
Why streamlining energy project approvals could be a rare opportunity for bipartisan cooperation
The implications of rising energy demand from AI and advanced manufacturing
