Julian Poulter, partner at Energy Transition Advisors, joins Gaby and Shaila to discuss the inevitability of the transition from fossil fuels toward cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, and whether that transition can be an orderly one. He also discusses ETA's "Inevitable Policy Response Project," their report for the financial sector and investors modelling how policy and technology can drive the climate transition, as well as the forecast models of what they see, how they see the transition evolving and what the implications are.
Bill Nussey founded Freeing Energy in 2016 after he learned that the cost of solar and wind-generated energy was now competitive with fossil fuels.

Listen as Bill talks to Gaby and Shaila about the massive opportunity in climate technology, especially local-scale solar and batteries, to revolutionize energy and slow global warming.
