Katherine Hamilton, co-host of The Energy Gang podcast and chair of clean energy consulting firm 38 North Solutions, sits down with Monica Trauzzi in the eighth episode of “Off the Menu.” At Convivial in D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood, Katherine and Monica discuss the recent shift in the clean energy conversation and the proposals—like the Green New Deal—that are driving change.
I think now we're at a point where we have this big, big existential issue of greenhouse gas emissions and we have to do something and we have a very limited amount of time, so I think we're going to have to be more goal-focused.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change urges that in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change, carbon emissions must be drastically reduced by 2030. Reaching that goal will require every zero-carbon tool available, as well as pragmatic policy. Katherine and Monica talk about the threat of climate change, the urgency of the moment and what a technology-neutral policy solution might look like.
