Summary

Fossil fuels are in favor again in Washington. New opportunities are opening to mine coal and drill for oil despite the fact that the costs for fossil fuels continue to rise in real terms--and in terms of our health and environment. The markets ultimately drive investments, and while regulatory rollbacks and continued subsidies for fossil fuel may slow it down, our guests are certain the energy revolution is coming. Documentarian James Redford declared that, “You don’t have to worry about the future being green, that is inevitable.” He then added, “It is just a matter of when.” James Redford, Filmmaker Emily Kirsch, Co-founder & CEO, Powerhouse Gia Schneider, CEO Natel Energy This program was recorded at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, CA on September 6, 2017.
