Renewables and electric vehicles are on a tear, and they’ll soon likely attract $2 trillion in yearly investment. But global emissions have not peaked.
So what are the new frontiers of technology that will make renewables and storage more valuable – and draw down emissions at the speed needed?
This week, we’re going to reflect on that question coming out of RE+, a major American conference where our editors were covering emerging tech.
Then, the battery recycling boom is on. It’s attracting billions of dollars in investment. Will it address supply chain security and a looming waste problem?
Finally, Hawaii’s difficult transition away from coal. Why couldn’t it build renewables and batteries fast enough to fill the gap?
Joining us this week to talk through these stories are Jeff St. John, Julian Spector, and Lisa Martine Jenkins.
