How Do We Decarbonize?
We don’t need a miracle. Everything we need to solve climate change is already here.

How to decarbonize appears to still be a contentious issue, whereas if we move past the “this, not that” arguments that plague the politics of the carbon transition, reasonable thinking leads to an approach that doesn’t require magical thinking or an over-commitment to any single technology. 

We sit before a smorgasbord of options, and we need to prioritize how to fill our plate.

Recent Talks
 
At a recent Maker Faire Bay Area feature presentation, Saul Griffith focused on how we can win against climate change if we focus on infrastructure.
The 25-minute (20 minutes if you skip the first 5-minutes of bad news) segment of the Maker Faire live stream recording includes:
  • The Green New Deal- good and bad aspects
  • Broadening the definition of energy infrastructure
  • Technology innovations required to decarbonize the US energy infrastructure
  • Consumer decisions that actually matter 
  • The enemies of climate solutions
Watch MAKE: Earth Great
"I was pretty wowed by [Saul's] Maker talk. The central theme of moving to all electrons cleans up so many other things at the same time; it's a multiplier in many dimensions, and it is a very clean, simple idea that is easy to grasp."   -Kevin Kelly, Wired Magazine
