The KJ Show #39 - The Ethical Dilemma of Climate Change
Every week, I host 'The KJ Show,' which offers a mix of breaking news and practical advice on how the energy industry affects the consumer. During this fast-paced show, I combine weekly energy updates with conversations with leaders in the energy efficiency community.
After each show, I'll share it here with the Energy Central Community in case you were unable to join me live.
This Week: #39 - The Ethical Dilemma of Climate Change
Climate change has been a hotly debated topic in the energy industry for years. The push to reduce fossil fuel emissions to address climate change also creates ethical challenges for governments, companies and individuals. Developing climate-focused solutions is expensive and may also create environmental harm.
On today's show, Dr. Katherine Johnson discusses ethical dilemmas. Do we need to kill the planet to save it, or can we devise a well-thought-out, reasonable approach that ultimately "does no harm?"
