Episode 3 - Energy Essentials (plus a bonus asteroid conversation!)

In this episode, we break down the energy needs of the world and discuss the best big picture approach to meet those needs moving forward. We talk with Sergey Paltsev, Deputy Director of the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy and Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative, and Cyril Opeil, a Jesuit priest, Associate Professor at Boston College, and a low-temperature physicist specializing in thermoelectrics. 

At the end of the episode, Professor Opeil shares some thoughts on his recent work studying the thermal properties of meteorites, including NASA's Bennu OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return project.

What is Climate Reveal?

In each episode, hosts Chris Citorik and David Deese look at the ongoing climate crisis from a different perspective. Exploring themes like its impact on health, nutrition, energy, land use, education, and more, we sit down with top experts and researchers to make complicated topics accessible to everyone. In addition to learning about the current landscape and how we got here, we'll also talk about reasons for hope and optimism, and what you can do to make a difference in your world.
