98: Electricity Solutions for Saving Money + Saving The Planet; Efficiency, Production, and Improving The System

ECO CHIC

As they say, in the pie chart of life … electricity and heat production make up 25% of our global greenhouse gas production. We’re speaking today about climate solutions that could massively cut back on our electricity consumption, carbon-intensive generation, and improve our long-term resiliency. Plus, these measures could save you money today at home. We’re discussing ways we can improve our energy dependancies through efficiency, shifting production, and improving the electric system.
Today’s episode pulls from research by Drawdown, and their just-released update, The Drawdown Review! Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions – the most digestible, encompassing list of already-existing ways to combat climate change. The original book (here linked on Amazon) is a must-have for anyone interested in climate solutions, and the update is available here as a downloadable PDF. Also mentioned: The Quest by Daniel Yergin.
