SunCast 687: Are Diversity and Efficiency being downplayed in the Clean Energy Revolution? Paula Glover of The Alliance to Save Energy gives advice from the front lines
Our guest today points out that energy efficiency is actually employing MILLIONS MORE than Renewable Energy as a sector!
Paula Glover, President of the Alliance to Save Energy, is fighting on the front lines to reduce energy waste. She uses her platform to champion energy efficiency as a cost-saving measure and a fundamental principle for achieving energy justice and economic growth. Paula believes that the "first fuel" is non-consumption.
Paula’s a returning guest to the show (Ep 333) but it’s our first time digging into her career evolution and role in championing Energy Efficiency.
Expect to learn:
- How many people the energy efficiency sector employs (hint: it's way more than you think)
- Why energy efficiency is foundational to achieving broader economic and environmental goals
- Paula and the Alliance to Save Energy's strategies to educate the younger generation about energy efficiency
- An unlikely ally to black industry leadership that led to a best-selling book
- Why Paula thinks diversity, justice, equity and inclusion have been sidelined as a conversation.
