In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we sit down with Josh, founder of Projective, to explore why power bills are rising across the U.S. and why the real challenge isn’t technology, but outdated infrastructure financing. Josh shares how a spike in his own New York City power bill led him to uncover deeper issues around grid capacity, energy demand, and the difficulty developers face when trying to bring new solar projects online.

We dig into how Projective uses on-chain financing and real-world assets to fund community solar and energy infrastructure, creating a more efficient path from capital to the grid. The conversation covers state-backed power contracts, why solar is the most practical entry point today, and how crypto rails can modernize energy finance without sacrificing compliance or reliability.
