• Abstract:
• We have the technology to slow climate change, such as wind turbines, solar panels, smart grids, heat pumps, and electric vehicles.
• But the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy will require us to build one billion new machines.
• We have to replace your home gas (methane) furnace with an electric heat pump, replace your gas guzzler with an electric vehicle, and replace other climate-killing machines with green machines.
• This session will describe how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 will force this transition and the implications for your industry.
• Also, how to organize five teams to fight climate change in your organization .
