Listen "Is it energy or electricity?"
Episode Synopsis
In this mini-episode of TILclimate (Today I Learned: Climate), host Laur Hesse Fisher breaks down what we’re actually talking about when we use the word “energy”. In a few minutes, we cover the difference between energy and electricity, and the big picture strategy for how to reduce CO2 for each.Season two of TILclimate focuses on our global energy system, its relationship to climate change, and what our options are for keeping the lights on while creating a clean energy future. We’re partnering with the MIT Energy Initiative, which will air longer interviews to take a deeper dive into these topics.For more episodes of TILclimate, visit: tilclimate.mit.eduTo listen to the MIT Energy Initiative podcast, visit: energy.mit.edu/podcastFor the full break-down of where U.S. gets its energy: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/CreditsLaur Hesse Fisher, Host and ProducerDavid Lishansky, Editor and ProducerJessie Hendricks, Graduate Student WriterMusic by Blue Dot SessionsArtwork by Aaron KrolSpecial thanks to Neil Fisher.Produced by the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
