On this episode
of the podcast we're heading down to the islands! Well,
figuratively speaking, at least. Our guest is Christopher Burgess,
Director of Projects for the Islands Energy Program, an initiative
of the Rocky Mountain Institute and Carbon War Room. We discuss
what the Islands Energy Program is and the challenge that spawned
it; cover the current energy landscape in the Caribbean; discuss
what types of renewables the islands are pursuing and how the
Program is working to bring about that transition; discuss what
this shift means for the future of local islanders and their
economies; and close with Chris' prediction about renewable usage
in the islands by 2025.
