What the end of 'King Coal' means for Big Oil & Gas, with Bruce Nilles

from Climate Curious

"I love doing it and I'll be doing it for a while, 'cause we ain't done yet," says the legendary lawyer who spurred a global campaign that led to the closing of 390 U.S. coal plants, forever: Bruce Nilles. Live on stage at Climate Curious Live 'Climate Impossible?', he shares the story of an epic climate win — combining grassroots grandmas, courtroom clashes, and a $50 million philanthropic gift — igniting an unstoppable movement and delivering one of the largest reductions in climate pollution of any sector, anywhere in the world. And we hear about the next frontier: gas. Recorded live at The Conduit as part of London Climate Action Week, in conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst.Read the new research on gas: https://www.psehealthyenergy.org/work/gas-stove-benzene-emissions-europe/ Join the Climate Curious conversation on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/climatecuriouspod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@climatecuriouspod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtF6xzNkVIczlDmVcH8FCMA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/10996041/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TEDxLondon Website: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/ All other links: https://linktr.ee/climatecuriouspod Created by TEDxLondonExecutive produced by Josie ColterProduced by Ben BeheshtyCurated by Deesha ChandraHosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben HurstCommunications by Tara Cooper and Issey Gladston Hosted on Acast.
