Saving the Planet by rapidly transitioning to renewables (with Mark Pop, Founder of Smart Energy Tech)

The idea of creating a heaven on Earth sounds far-fetched, until you start to see the common thread behind global conflicts and societal injustices in our world today: the fossil fuel industry.
We are an increasingly energy-dependent world, and as long as there exists a finite energy supply, that dependence will consolidate power in the hands of too few. Once we make our energy supply infinite, by transitioning to clean and renewable energy technologies, the balance of power will shift back to the hands of the many. We will finally be able to decide - as a human community - what is best for our planet.
How do we get there? Today, we talk to life-long renewable energy entrepreneur, Marc Pop, about the journey ahead.
