Emerging Opportunities: Solar energy under Trump's shadow
This is Emerging Opportunities, the only show on radio dedicated to global emerging markets. Your hosts are Share Radio's Juliette Foster and Gavin Serkin, the Managing Editor of the Frontier Funds Consultancy and author of 'Frontier: Exploring the Top Ten Emerging Markets of Tomorrow'. Well, as the world absorbs the magnitude of change about to be unleashed by American President-elect Donald Trump, one constituency feeling particularly nervous is the green energy lobby. Trump has dismissed evidence of mankind's impact on climate change as a "hoax" and President Obama's Clean Power Plan to cut plant emissions as a "war on coal." He's also vowed to "cancel" last year's Paris climate accord - an agreement by 190 countries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions - and says he'll dismantle the Environment Protection Agency. One company whose world Trump has changed in the space of a week is JCM Power. Juliette and Gavin were joined all the way from Toronto by the company's co-Founder and Chief Executive, Christian Wray.
