Livingstone, Deputy Director in our Global Energy center where i need to work on climate and advanced energy. Thank you very much for joining us here today. Its a terrific to see a full room, particularly amid the dark days of august when so many folks in dc leave for cooler or at the very least, less humid climates. It is surely a traffic registration of interest in this topic and before we get started let me give a big thanks to zach strauss and are Global Energy and art interns who are instruments and making today happen along with our talented medications and events team. They are truly a testament to the assets and professionalism of the Atlantic Council. Dive in to todays discussion by noting that not only are you here because youre fascinated by the narrative that surround the climate challenge in the Energy Transition but you are likely also very interested in the narrators that help us to understand the complexities, ambiguities, leading characters in the emerging solutions at
