S1E26: Is green energy truly green? Environmentalists complain: not in my backyard!


Listen Later

Prof. DuVivier talks about Michael Moore's 2020 film and explains the growing pains of the carbon-neutral industry. 

We hear much talk about green energy. But other terms are used as well, including renewable energy, clean energy, green energy and sustained energy. So which term is correct, and which term is more important for legislation and fundraising purposes? And how does politics fit into all of this? And why do some environmentalists oppose solar power projects? 

For answers to these questions, and much more, we spoke with Professor DuVivier of the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. She is Chair in Natural Resources Law, an award-winning professor, the author of two books on energy, and also has a degree and experience working in geology.

Professor DuVivier also followed up on our podcast conversation about switching to heat pumps for air conditioning and heating, with the following article that heralds California's new building code to phase out gas: https://www.power-grid.com/policy-regulation/california-adopts-new-building-code-to-phase-out-gas/?utm_source=powergrid_weekly_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2021-08-19
