Solar and Wind: Success or Failure?

Dan KammenGUEST
I mean, we have projects that have been, that have done badly, but we have to put two things in context here.

Dan KammenGUEST
One is that there was no effort to push back that was successful against the big oil and gas projects over s- decades, but we're now seeing it for these large scale renewable projects.

Dan KammenGUEST
The other side of the story though, is that clean energy projects actually put more money into communities more sustainably than fossil projects.

So what would a path forward look like to maximize solar and wind in the US, and if you want, globally? And, and, and the second part of that question is, is that possible? So you know, not what could it look like or should it look like, but you know, what will it look like, do you think?

Interesting So what would a path forward look like to maximize solar and wind in the US, and if you want, globally? And, and, uh, and the second part of that question is, is that possible? So, you know, not what could it look like or should it look like, but, you know, what will it look like, do you think?
