It's our Season 1 finale!! I drive an electric vehicle. I recycle. I use energy companies that provide a good portion of their power through renewable sources. Am I making a difference? If, like me, that is something you think about daily, then join us for a today’s conversation with Richard Simmons. Richard is a Senior Research Engineer and Fellow at the Strategic Energy Institute. He has also advised the US Department of State on international policy issues related to renewable energy. He has authored numerous publications including the 2014 book Understanding the Global Energy Crisis and is one of today’s top minds in the fields of energy technologies, transportation energy technology and future energy policy and strategy. So let’s jump right into a conversation about energy policy and innovation, what the future of energy looks like in the USA and across the globe and start to get to the bottom of the big climate change questions we all have and get a better understanding of the real impact we’re having and how we are helping to save the future.
