🧮 If US ratepayers spend an extra $25B/year towards buildout of 90% renewable generation in 2035, can you guess how many $Billions are saved in human and environmental health costs? (Hint: it's more than 10X the cost.) For this episode, Dr. Daniel Howard, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Energy Inc, joins BioZen's CEO Nate Kirchhofer to discuss business and personal tradeoffs related to decarbonization of the grid (i.e. reducing carbon emissions while serving electricity demand), costs of the 90%-renewable-in-2035 vs. business-as-usual policy pathways, and some of the system level benefits of different types of energy storage. Daniel even flips the script and asks Nate some questions about BioZen! Quantum Energy develops a software model, TotalView Energy, that quantifies the true health and environmental costs of deploying clean and renewable energy, and the results are shocking.
