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 wind new machines. We’d 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.
