Clean Energy Solutions and Technological Unemployment
from KWMR Post Carbon Radio · host Bing Gong
What are the best-case possibilities using new clean/green technologies - what could be achieved? What are the downsides to our technological-industrial economy? What do we need to consider in a future economy with a green energy infrastructure, if social justice is a key design principle? We speak with Leah Parks, co-author of "All-Electric America," about the clean energy technologies already at our disposal and what it will take to deploy them at scale and in time. And we ask Dave Ransom, labor journalist, about the downsides and possibilities of an increasingly mechanized, roboticized economy, and what it will take to make it socially just. Is it possible? How do we bring these two perspectives together? Tune in to find out
