Auke Hoekstra: The Bull Case For Renewables
I loved this conversation for a few reasons. One, Auke is an incredibly smart person. You'll pick that up quickly. Two, I don't agree with everything Auke believes, which makes for a fascinating conversation.
Auke is a staunch renewable energy advocate. I'm on the fence. I think we can live somewhere in between where fossil fuels play their role, and if it is economical and just as good, renewables should be there too.
We spend almost 90 minutes discussing:
The bull case for renewable energy
Mythbusting popular renewable bear cases
Copper versus Aluminum
Fixing The Electricity Grid
And more. If you're interested in energy, renewables, or electrification metals, you will love this episode.
Finally, a big thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality.
