Clean Energy and Corporate Tax

In the Balance

Available for over a year

In the Balance comes from the Future in Review Conference in Southern California, where delegates gaze into their crystal ball to tell us what the world of business and technology will look like in years to come. Ed Butler and his guests discuss whether clean technology in North America has made a clean get away. In the era of shale gas extraction and oil production from giant tar sands, is anyone still investing in clean energy? And close to the West Coast homes of Google and Apple what do company bosses feel about the row over corporate tax avoidance? Ed is joined on the shores of the Pacific Ocean by Sheeraz Haji, CEO of the Clean Tech Group; Heidi Lubin, CEO of HEVT; and John Lowell of Zinc Air Group. Plus comedian Colm O'Regan on his own and the globe's tax affairs.
