Energy Transition in Africa & its Climate Dilemma with Dr. Rose Mutiso
David & Ed chat with Dr. Rose Mutiso about the tension between energy, climate, and economic development in Africa and the global south.
They touch on many topics to do with sub-Saharan Africa, including energy production & consumption, electricity and power grids, and the vast economic inequity that still exists between the global north & south.
