You certainly hear a lot about the energy transition (especially if you listen to this podcast). Is it a dream to reach 100% renewables? How do we go from here to there? What are the obstacles towards this goal? To address those questions, I had the fantastic opportunity to interview Prof. Mark Jacobson from Stanford University.
Mark Jacobson is a Professor since 1994. He mainly works on two fields: air pollution and energy (you’ll hear in the interview how Mark connects the two). His work has a profound impact on the research community but also at the business and political levels. He is one of the few scientists having been on the talk show Late Night with David Letterman and at the same time if you have a look at his academic track record, you’ll be amazed, it shows the breadth and depth of his expertise.
I would have loved recording a discussion for half a day but we only had a bit more than an hour so I’ll dive into some important aspects for me but I strongly suggest you to check out the show notes and read some of the many works he has authored.
