E032: Discussing The Current Energy Politics with Axios Reporter Amy Harder

By Yann Brandt

What: Axios Energy and Climate Change Reporter, Amy Harder, Joins SolarWakeup To Talk Politics and Energy Markets

Summary: Amy Harder joined Axios from the Wall Street Journal and writes the Harder Line, part of Axios’ coverage of the energy space. Amy is well versed on the politics of energy and has been based in DC for over 10 years. She joins Yann in this recorded interview from SolarWakeup Live! to talk about coal and nuclear bailouts, COP proceedings in Bonn and impacts of jobs in the solar debate.

SolarWakeup View: Amy is not a solar reporter and rarely takes pitches from companies. Her short form, no nonsense reporting doesn’t skirt the heart of the issue. In this conversation I ask Amy about the ongoing solar trade case, bills that are floating in Congress and how she will report on the solar trade rallies (she didn’t). This is a small way of leaving the echo chamber by talking with a well known, well connected and straight forward energy reporter.
