In the middle of this blistering desert, Peter, Ryan, and Jesse have cobbled together a little camp. They call rabbit's side out of wood and old RV, odds and ends and eight solar panels. This and a bunch of golf cart batteries has to provide all their power needs. And while Rabbitside is a triumph of invention, ingenuity, art, it is not a utopia.
After a 20-year career as a tech reporter for CNET, the New York Times, and the public radio program Marketplace, Molly Wood has come to see the climate crisis as an engineering problem requiring an acceleration of investment. And so, after producing the acclaimed climate podcast “How We Survive” for Marketplace, she left that program to begin a new career in venture capital. What are the limits of media in changing human behavior? And what is the role of capital in addressing the climate crisis, even while considering that capitalism itself may be incompatible with survival?
