What Thomas Edison’s legacy looks like in the 21st century

from Zero: The Climate Race · host Bloomberg

General Electric Co was officially founded in 1892, when several of inventor Thomas Edison's ventures were consolidated into one company. From then on, it was a behemoth. But now that’s changed: A break-up that began last year has concluded with GE splitting off into three separate companies. Scott Strazik is the CEO of GE Vernova, which focuses on wind turbines, nuclear power, and carbon capture, as well as grid solutions such as software and batteries. Strazik joins Zero to talk about how the company is in the "early innings of an investment super cycle," and how it intends to overcome difficulties in offshore wind.  Explore further: Past episode about the grid and the march toward electrification Past episode about how Microsoft is squaring its AI growth with its carbon negative ambitions  Past episode with BloombergNEF’s Jenny Chase about the goal of tripling renewables by 2030 Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green.
