Introduction

For April 19th, 2023, this is the Energy Transition Show with Chris Melder. How do you maintain required levels of growth in an industrialist or capitalist system whilst trying to safeguard a climate system for human existence? What if the most important solutions aren't sexy technologies like hydrogen and next-generation nukes, but extremely unglamorous solutions like wall cavity insulation and wider sidewalks? Who will advocate for them? And how can we build that advocacy into our institutional decision-making in an enduring way? Our guest today is a researcher who's thought deeply about these questions and published extensively on them.
