Ep 105: Varun Sivaram, Senior Visiting Fellow at Columbia University's Center for Global Energy Policy

Today's guest is Dr. Varun Sivaram, a Senior Visiting Fellow at Columbia University's Center for Global Energy Policy.

Most recently, Varun was Chief Technology Officer for ReNew Power, India's largest renewable energy company, and was previously the director of the energy and climate program at the Council on Foreign Relations. TIME Magazine named him to its TIME 100 Next most influential people in the world, and he's also the author of the well-known book, "Taming the Sun: Innovations to Harness Solar Energy and Power the Planet."

I was excited for this episode because Varun is very-well rounded. With experience both domestically and abroad, his background is steeped with insight into energy innovation and policy. We have a great discussion in which we cover a wide-range of topics, such as where we are in the climate fight, how Varun’s thinking has evolved and the state of the climate crisis.

Enjoy the show!
