According to the International Energy Agency, the world is expected to build more renewable projects in the next five years as we have in the past 20. But this rapid and massive growth in the renewable energy space has proven increasingly challenging for insurers of these assets, who are struggling to deal with mounting losses from natural disasters (which themselves are often driven by climate change) as well as growing demand for new products that insure against other emerging risks such as production and revenue variability. 

In this episode, Chad Reed sits down Jason Kaminsky, CEO and co-founder of kWh Analytics, perhaps the leader in delivering data-enabled Climate Insurance for zero-carbon assets. In the discussion, Chad and Jason get into the weeds on the recent evolution of the Climate Insurance industry, kWh’s Fifth Annual Solar Risk Assessment as well as data-enabled solutions to address the most pressing risks facing the U.S. solar industry today.

“There is a story, no doubt apocryphal, that gamers at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, have many times replayed the 1942 Battle of Midway - but have never been able to produce an American victory.”
     – Taken from historian Robert Cowley’s book What If?

 “Find better gamers.”
    – My response.

In this episode, we look at the celebrated Battle of Midway, in which US naval forces decisively defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy.  The prevailing narrative, as portrayed in two Hollywood films, was the plucky and outnumbered Americans were the beneficiaries of good fortune.  A deeper analysis reveals that the two sides were almost dead equal in the most important weapons system, carrier aircraft, and the United States had numerous advantages stemming from its massive industrial base.  Japan did not lose because it was unlucky or was the victim of an unfortunate confluence of events.  The battle itself reveals many of the factors that the United States possessed over Japan in the capacity to wage total war.

No, the vaunted SJPD has not found the truck or the culprit as of yet, but during the recording of this episode, an unknown number appeared as an incoming call. Could this be the tip that breaks the case? Probably not. It is far more likely that the QBs return to their habit of discussing their childhood. Who better to enhance such a discussion than Our Friend Matt? . . . who is secretly a Kansas QB? Could it be?!

Back for the third time, it's the Marks of Midway! Well, today we have one Mark. The first one. The other Mark will be stopping by sometime next week. Missouri 8man Coaches Association Hall of Fame Coach Mark Juhl talks Midway-Denton Eagles football. In 1978, his team won 0 games. His teams would go on to rule the 80s.

Things We Remember: The QBs were the water boys in the 90s. The QBs remember what it was like being around those great teams as kids.

When most people think about December 7, 1941, they think about Pearl Harbor. They think about the USS Arizona. They think about Battleship Row. But can you name a Medal of Honor recipient from that action? To explore the story of these men, the MacArthur Memorial Podcast hosted Colonel Charles A. Jones USMCR (Retired), an expert on the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Honor recipients of December 7, 1941.
