In this episode, we tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: Can the world grow richer without cooking the planet? Our guest, David Carlin, argues that we’re framing the climate challenge all wrong. The real goal isn’t to use less energy—it’s to use cleaner energy, and that shift in mindset radically reshapes how we think about growth, development, and the future of global prosperity.

How does that kind of shift in framing changed the way we think about the economic
growth and climate policy?
8:26
Q3
The press is so far behind that story, they're still talking about the problems of 20
years ago. What are your thoughts about that?
14:10
Q4
What are you seeing in the area of storage. Are there improvements there?
17:43
Q5
How do efficiency breakthroughs like these things reshape entire economies, not just
technologies?

Data centers are all creating a new surge in electricity demand. Can we realistically
power this demand out there with renewables alone or what's it going to take?
23:36
Q7
How do we ensure that this effort of decarbonization doesn't just deepen the
inequality that we're facing around the world, but instead it actually helps and prosper?
28:29

Are there examples of that are just so successful and inspiring that you could share
with us?
