Fantasy Sports for Energy Nerds

Like fantasy sports? Listen to our deep decarbonization draft. The Energy Gang is break this week for the July 4 holiday. We'll be back next week. In the meantime, we're offering up a re-run from The Interchange. In this episode, Shayle and Stephen choose their rosters of nine technologies to decarbonize the global economy. The goal: find the best resource mix to keep global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius. The draft has nine rounds. The “team” resulting from each person’s picks will need to stand on its own. Each pick must be a unique technology. For example, “energy efficiency” is not a pick, but “LED lighting” is. Technologies with major subsets must be picked separately. For example, rooftop solar and centralized solar are two different picks. The existing technology mix will stand. (We don’t need to pick “transmission & distribution" in order to have electricity.) The time horizon will be through 2050. The winner will be chosen by listeners. If you like what you hear, subscribe to The Interchange anywhere you get your podcasts! The Energy Gang will be back next week. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
