C.O.B. Tuesday

Sharing energy knowledge. Embracing energy innovation.

Let’s talk about energy.

The energy transition is one of the defining challenges of our lifetime—and while many people feel passionately about the issues, few genuinely comprehend the numbers and constraints behind the energy competition. To address this problem, Close of Business Tuesday (COBT) brings “Truth in Energy.” We invite industry leaders, innovators, investors, academics, regulators, and political leaders to join us for collegial, thoughtful and data-driven discussions about the future of energy.

Featuring guests such as Former Secretary of State and Secretary of Treasury, James A Baker III, General David H. Patraeus, Dr. Dan Yergin, Jigar Shah of the DOE Loans Program, Senator Dan Sullivan, Admiral Bill McRaven, Professor Jesse Jenkins of Princeton, Amy Myers Jaffe of TUFTS University, Eric Cantor of Moelis, Journalist Brian Sullivan, Author Bjorn Lomberg, Walter Isaacson, Katherine Blunt and other thought leaders including industry analysts from Goldman Sachs, Raymond James, Evercore, and more. Close of Business Tuesday hosts  

honest, timely conversations with people who understand the issues in energy today and bring an insightful, pragmatic approach to problem solving. We can’t solve the world’s energy issues alone. But together, we can talk about big problems and uncover insights that will point to a more sustainable energy future.

Veriten also provides additional content through our podcast Gener8 and a weekly energy editorial by Arjun Murti called Super-Spiked. Gener8 dives deep into the world of nuclear, power, and industrial heat and aims to bring concise, thoughtful, and in-depth discussions biweekly with expert guests. Gener8 is hosted by Veriten Director of Nuclear and Power Strategy, Brett Rampal and its COO, Jeff Tillery. Super-Spiked is produced by Veriten Partner in Energy Policy & Macro Arjun Murti and takes aim at an increasingly messy energy transition by examining the clash of energy commodity & equity markets with policy, ESG initiatives, and geopolitics.
