The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

Great episode! As someone dealing with Ecoguilt, it definitely feels more motivating to think about the carrot than the stick.

The only observation I'd add is that clean energy should not only aim to be zero-carbon but also ethical and sustainable. 

The problem with Fossil Fuel Energy is twofold - Climate Change yes, but also the limited & unequal distribution of it's raw material in the world. We're in a situation where we make deals with the world's kleptocracies for their coal mines and oil reserves. We tolerate war crimes and humanitarian crises, letting local, underserved populations pay the price for us to live comfortably.

Imo, for a future with exponentially more clean, equal energy - we'll also need to solve problems like the shortage of precious metals to make batteries and semiconductors for example. Without which we'd only solve 50% of the problem. 

There are no easy solutions, I understand.
