In this episode, Max talks with innovative minds from the Northeast and West Coast of the United States to explore some of the technology in development to move us away from fossil fuels. And he finds out about some of the exciting projects and ventures being developed and funded to revolutionise our energy future, and the future of the planet. Professor Tristan Brown is Associate Professor of Energy Resource Economics from the State University of New York.
