Energy transition has been under way for the better part of two decades now, and it\u2019s easy to forget how much the world has changed over the time. We now have a host of energy technologies and consumer tools that didn\u2019t even exist 15 years ago. Utility business models have been turned upside-down and we\u2019re still not sure what they\u2019ll look like in the future. Equally, there has been a transformation in education as it tries to catch up with a rapidly-changing world and an ever-more-urgent call to action on climate change. Viewed up close, the transition now underway can look pretty slow sometimes, but if you back up and review what has transpired over the past 15 years, it has actually been incredibly rapid, at least compared to the historical pace of change.<\/p>\n
Few people have been as involved in energy transition over the past 15 years, and have seen it as up close and personal as our guest in this episode. Robyn Beavers has had a remarkable career working in energy transition that included stints at Google, NRG, the Department of Energy, and Vestas, and she did it all starting as a young woman in an industry dominated by men. In this interview she shares some of her insights on how it all has unfolded, and how she has managed to be incredibly successful with navigating the gender disparity. She also explains how her new venture is working to turn the built environment into dynamic energy assets. If you\u2019re a young person interested in breaking into the world of energy, you don\u2019t want to miss this episode!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
