This is the 9th installment in our coverage of Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken – and today we’re going to feel the buzz of ENERGY as we discuss renewable energy – green energy. We’ll talk about electric cars and transportation methods, heat pumps to warm and cool buildings, and energy storage on large and small scales.

If you’re new to this series, I encourage you to go back to the introduction, and listen to the episode where I interview Paul, just before this book series began. That will provide all the context you need and get you thinking about what regeneration means to you.

To make your discovery process easy, links to each episode are included in chronological order below time stamps. You can also visit CareMoreBeBetter.com for access to the complete series simply by clicking on the Regeneration Category of podcasts.
