With the reality of climate change, there is a pressing need to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the global economy. The lowest-hanging fruit is to transition our energy generation sector from being dominated by fossil fuels to being fueled predominantly (or entirely) by carbon-free sources. However, there are many barriers that have limited the pace of adoption of carbon-free energy generation well below the baseline trend necessary to meet aggressive decarbonization goals set by governments around the world. In this panel discussion, we aim to explore what some of these barriers are and how we can overcome existing constraints as we accelerate the transition toward carbon-free energy generation.
