One thing is sure about energy transition: There is no one-size-fits-all approach. As our previous episodes on individual countries showed, there are different opportunities and challenges in each place\u2026even each US state has to find its own unique transition path. In this episode, we have a wide-ranging talk with Dr. Benjamin Sovacool of the University of Sussex about a tiny fraction of his voluminous research on energy transition topics, with a focus on the speed of energy transitions, the ways that the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are going about their transitions; his outlook for CCS technology and nuclear power; the potentials and pitfalls of nuclear power and the potential for distributed energy resources to displace nuclear; and we\u2019ll surprise him with the first-ever Energy Transition Show lightning round, in which he\u2019ll answer 15 key questions about energy transition (which were the subject of one of his books) in under two minutes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Each state and country has its own unique set of resources and energy transition challenges, so there are different speeds and techniques for each one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[88,44,282,284,277,89,69,272,280,180,279,93,64,115,281,278,283,100,45],"class_list":["post-897","xen_episodes","type-xen_episodes","status-publish","hentry","category-energy-transition-show-podcasts","tag-ccs","tag-denmark","tag-energy-transitions","tag-europe","tag-finland","tag-geoengineering","tag-grid","tag-hydro","tag-iceland","tag-new-york","tag-norway","tag-nuclear","tag-solar","tag-storage","tag-svalbard","tag-sweden","tag-vaclav-smil","tag-water","tag-wind","xen_guests-benjamin-sovacool"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
