Listen now
Description
Today, we speak with Paul van Son, a driving force behind the megaproject called Desertec for more than a decade. And with David Toke, a reader in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Aberdeen in the UK; he helps us understand "green certificates." Finally, we talk with Prof. Claudia Kemfert of DIW about why she has shifted from a Desertec supporter to a proponent of distributed renewables.
