♻️ What does "sustainability" mean to you? How do you put a price on the safety of a battery? If we want society to adopt renewable energy, why is there so much NIMBYism about it? To answer these questions, and more, clean energy expert Ilja Pawel calls in from Austria to join BioZen's CEO Nate Kirchhofer. Ilja is an independent consultant and star communicator on renewable energy generation and storage technologies, and you can find his writings and talks both online (e.g. LinkedIn) as well as at conferences (such as Intersolar). The discussion covers the "hard" and "soft" costs of energy storage technologies, how to evaluate different technologies (such as Li-ion vs. flow batteries), the urgency of energy storage deployment, and how to positively re-orient your perspective on renewable energy. Ilja has some gems of wisdom for everyone in the renewable space!
