Renewables Are Here To Stay. Get Over It. | Ep211: Antonio Cammisecra

The world's electricity system is transforming: We're integrating
more and more variable renewables. Fossil plants are running
fewer hours. Demand is growing everywhere, including in the
developed world, as we electrify transport and heating, and AI
data centers elbow their way onto the grid. 


Some people find this very threatening but not Antonio
Cammisecra, CEO of ContourGlobal. CounterGlobal is a leading
independent power producer who is well on their way to transition
away from coal to electricity production based on renewables and
gas. 


Antonio joins Michael on Cleaning Up to discuss how to build
resilience and security in renewable-dominated grids, how
ContourGlobal's battery storage systems are delivering solar at
night, and why grids around the world are struggling to cope as
electricity demand rises.
