The future of energy
There is no democratic stability without access to energy
In the final episode of Season One of Outsider Insight, we explore The future of energy, where sustainability, equality, and technological progress collide.
Education, healthcare, digital inclusion, and economic growth all depend on power. When so much is energy-dependent, access to energy stops being a privilege and becomes a basic human right.
Our guest, KR Sridhar, founder of Bloom Energy, challenges the idea of energy scarcity and reframes energy as a distributed, resilience-driven system for growth, stability, and more democratic access to opportunity.
