Renowned environmentalist, author, and journalist, Bill Mckibben joins us to discuss the landscape of renewable energy and climate action. We explore key developments, including the rapid adoption of solar power, China’s leadership in clean energy technology, and the impact of recent climate policies like the Inflation Reduction Act.
