We're Listening to the Naked Scientist With Simon Harrison

We need to make metaphorical hay or electricity when the sun is shining, store it and then redistribute it where we need it. It's not just a question of building some wind turbines and putting in solar panels to solve this problem, is it? No, i'm afraid it isn't. And those are component parts of an energy system that we need to decarbonize globally by 20 fifties. That's only 330 months, calculated. And weve have to do that in a way that is resilient and reliable. And that's a massive challenge. Simon harrison is an electrical engineer and joined just now.
