b"Stabilizing our climate is going to take some hard truths \\u2013 and hard numbers. \\u201cIf you look at 1.5 degrees, it's about 13 years,\\u201d says Stanford\\u2019s Arun Majumdar. \\u201cIf you look at 2 degrees, it\\u2019s 20 years. And after that, it\\u2019s zero.\\u201d We can fight back with the power of zero: a zero-carbon grid, zero-emission vehicles, zero-net energy buildings and zero-waste manufacturing. Whether through massive technological breakthroughs or deployment of existing technologies, powering these opportunities will require funding and policy changes. Can a four-zero solution lead to a low carbon-future?\\n\\nGuests:\\n\\nHal Harvey, CEO, Energy Innovation, Author, Designing Climate Solutions: A Policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy (Island Press, 2018)\\nKate Gordon, Fellow, Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy\\nArun Majumdar, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Co-Director at the Precourt Institute for Energy, Stanford\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
