Fascinating conversation with Chris Kaiser! It’s truly inspiring to hear from someone who is not
only passionate about clean energy and sustainability but is also actively working to implement these solutions in the real world.
The three pillars of clean energy – LED lighting and controls,
solar PV & microgrid, and EV charging – are crucial for decarbonization, and
it’s great to see the progress being made in these areas.
The discussion on EV charging was particularly enlightening.
The breakdown of the different levels and recommendations
for businesses was very helpful. It’s clear that there’s still a
lot of work to be done to ensure grid stability and balance electricity, but it’s reassuring to know that experts like Chris are working on these
issues.
I also appreciated the discussion on legislation and incentives.
It’s important for governments to support and fund this technology if we want
to meet our decarbonization goals. The mention of clean energy boards and the need to
avoid greenwashing was a good reminder that we need to hold ourselves accountable and ensure that our actions
align with our sustainability goals.
Overall, a very informative and engaging episode.
Thanks for sharing!
