Why Clean and Green Muddy the Energy Transition

Why Clean and Green Muddy the Energy Transition

The first time the spotlight found Arjun Murti, he didn’t like it very much. An analyst at Goldman Sachs, Murti (BSBA 1992) had made a bold—but ultimately correct—prediction about a “super spike” in the price of oil, and his career would never be the same. He shied from the limelight and finished his career in mostly private-facing roles. But now, he’s raising his voice, hoping it can change the way the country talks about a transition away from fossil fuels. On the Voices of Experience podcast, Murti explains what the labels “clean” and “green” energy overlook, dissects the Inflation Reduction Act, and offers advice on starting a career and finding a mentor in the business world.
