Are you confused about the energy transition and what it will eventually look like? If you read the headlines, it looks like hydrogen is the answer to everything. But what is hydrogen’s role and what about the rest - solar, wind, nuclear and more? It can be overwhelming, so when I struggle for clarity, I look for people engaging and sharing great content on social media, but in particular, people who are challenging whatever is accepted in the mainstream media.
And that’s how I found Paul Martin, a chemical engineer based in Toronto, who has been very actively participating around this discussion on LinkedIn, and he isn’t afraid to correct thoughts and ideas he does not agree with, generating great conversations – because that’s how we all learn, right? Not always pretty, go and check Paul out. We need more people participating like this.
In this podcast we’re discussing hopium (you’ll understand after you listen), green wishing, the role of hydrogen, navigating the complexity of our energy options, why moral hazard is something we need to pay attention to, where we need to focus, and we’re going to finish with why it’s so important to participate as a social leader if you are an expert in your field. If the global narrative is wrong, we need the experts to change it. No more stepping back! Everything is on the line now.
