Episode 3 - Energy Essentials (plus a bonus asteroid conversation!)
from Climate Reveal · host Chris Citorik, David Deese, Tessa Burke
In this episode, we break down the energy needs of the world and discuss the best big picture approach to meet those needs moving forward. We talk with Sergey Paltsev, Deputy Director of the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy and Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative, and Cyril Opeil, a Jesuit priest, Associate Professor at Boston College, and a low-temperature physicist specializing in thermoelectrics. At the end of the episode, Professor Opeil shares some thoughts on his recent work studying the thermal properties of meteorites, including NASA's Bennu OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return project.
