In this episode, co-hosts Rajesh, Dave and Curt reflect on their key takeaways, surprising realizations, and nagging questions from the season. Across such varied settings -- personal conversations, community connections, school classes -- we've been inspired by the creative and committed ways people are turning crisis into opportunity and creating the change we all need.Nohttps://www.spreaker.com/user/10218296/s3e12-turning-learning-into-habits-with-tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/547234395Wed, 19 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000David LishanskyHow can we encourage policymakers and communities to take bolder climate action?

Need an encouraging story from a young climate action leader? Give a listen in this extended cut to Susan Tang! Susan takes us through her journey from new 7th grade student at Boston Latin School - inspired by a presentation on climate and justice - to 12th grade skilled co-leader of Youth CAN. Along the way we hear plenty of examples to give us hope. Whether it’s bike-powered musicians, partnerships with faculty and advocacy groups, or her insights about reaching the next generation, Susan conveys the power of passionate young people learning to change.Nohttps://www.spreaker.com/user/10218296/s3e9-more-with-boston-latin-school-youth

In this episode, we interview Frank O’Sullivan, Director of Research at MIT Energy Initiative and an expert in electricity.

Frank teaches us about technology, market, and policy shifts in the electricity sector, such as renewable sources, energy storage, and flexible dynamic pricing. We consider how these advances will affect consumers and the climate, and how social equity can be improved in the transition.

Additionally, Frank previews the upcoming Summit panel on regional coordination of electricity policy. We ask Frank how this might reduce policy fragmentation in North America, and lead to a more resilient and climate-friendly electric grid.
