Richard Heinberg of the Post-Carbon Institute talks about our renewable future. He describes the types of energy we currently use, how we might handle the intermittent flow of renewable wind and solar, how much energy is needed to create the infrastructure for a renewables economy, and how we need a plan to make this transition.

He’s lectured around the world, including to the European Parliament, and has appeared as a commentator on NPR, Good Morning America and C-SPAN.
