Mulvaney interviewed on how solar can achieve its full potential
Dustin Mulvaney was interviewed on the Sweaty Penguin podcast about the potential of solar power to improve the climate and energy sector overall, challenges in the supply chain, and how solar can achieve its full potential. The Sweaty Penguin is a podcast by PBS/WNET that cuts through the noise and the doom-and-gloom of the climate conversation with late-night-comedy-style monologues and in-depth conversations with leading global experts on a variety of environmental issues.
"Solar energy is clean, cheap, renewable, and surprisingly land-efficient, making it a really exciting technology to scale up. But to do that as effectively as possible, solar has some challenges to confront, from human rights and geopolitical dilemmas in the manufacturing process to siting challenges to the fact that people’s electricity use spikes in the evening when the Sun isn’t shining. Today, we consider the potential of solar power to improve the climate and energy sector overall, contemplate some of the challenges in the supply chain, and consider how solar can achieve its full potential. With special guest Dr. Dustin Mulvaney, Professor of Environmental Studies at San José State University."
