Featuring

Mark Z. Jacobson, of Stanford University

Mark has demonstrated why a fully renewable grid is the best way to meet the world's climate change goals, and why we should stop wasting time and money on things like carbon capture, biofuels and nuclear power, and focus instead on breezes, rivers and sunshine.
