How Do We Power the Developing World
Season 2
Episode 12
80% of the world lives in developing nations, but uses just 20% of global energy. To provide them access to a modern life, we’d need to double energy production globally. Can we do it affordably, while reducing energy’s environmental impact? Ashvin Dayal from The Rockefeller Foundation, and Robert Stoner, Deputy Director at the MIT Energy Initiative, discuss.
