Science | Business | Creativity
I started Power & Context to explore the business opportunities that can make a meaningful impact decarbonizing our complex economy. Too often, low carbon proposals get clouded in idealism, policy aspirations, or insufficient understanding of current market rules and regulations. Finding solutions that move the needle requires thorough scientific knowledge, shrewd business acumen, and a lot of persistent creativity. The world needs ideas that present value today, and the goal of this blog is to help identify them.
