Topics Kimberly & Akshat discuss include:
How a misinformed campaign marketing slogan about ‘clean coal’ led Akshat into the year-long pursuit of uncovering the truth about climate technology
Why economists feel the way to address climate change is to put a price on carbon
How to achieve negative carbon emissions since zero emissions alone isn’t enough
Why, when it comes to electric cars, you’ve never heard of Wan Gang, though Elon Musk is a household name
Why the very industries that created lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and carbon capture and storage are so resistant to employing that technology
How private capital from billionaires like Bill Gates and anyone with a 401K plan is a key part of pursuing climate technology
That climate justice is both ethically the right path but also reaps global economic benefits
The need to shift from ‘shareholder’ to ‘stakeholder’ if we’re going to meet the less-ambitious Paris Conference climate change goals
