Our research shows China is leading the way on clean manufacturing investment—how is this shaping broader competition between the U.S. and China? Atlas Live is coming at you with the second episode in a series on global clean energy supply chains. In this episode, Atlas’s Nick Nigro sits down with Avery Ash of SAFE and Kate Logan of Asia Society to dive into how China has gotten to this point, what it will take for the United States to compete, and how policymakers can balance deployment, affordability, and supply change resilience as clean technologies become central to broader economic and geopolitical competition.

In this episode, Atlas’s Nick Nigro sits down with Jasper Jung of GM and Jeff Werner of Panasonic to explore what the global race for clean energy leadership means for U.S. industry and competitiveness today. Drawing on Atlas Public Policy’s new report, we’ll dive into the details of the nearly $1.1 trillion in announced global clean energy manufacturing investments from 2019 to 2025. Batteries play a central role, and gap between China’s manufacturing dominance and the rest of the world is widening. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion about the opportunities and risks facing companies investing in domestic supply chains, advanced manufacturing, and the next phase of the clean energy economy.

In this episode, Atlas’s Nick Nigro will sit down with Monica Lee, Clean Transportation Campaign Director, and Britta Gross from EPRI to unpack how the recent shock to the oil market is causing consumers to give EVs another look. Since the start of the U.S.–Israel war with Iran in February, global oil prices have surged more than 50%, driving U.S. gasoline prices above $4 per gallon. How do prolonged high oil prices impact EV affordability and discussions at home, in fleets, and in legislatures? Tune in to hear a grounded discussion of near‑term solutions and the practical steps that can make EVs a more accessible option during this tumultuous period.
