Ed's just come back from COP27 where he was roving with his mic. He spoke to some experts on how we shift to zero carbon power and break our dependency on fossil fuels. We talk to Kingsmill Bond about why the transition to renewables makes economic&nbsp;sense. Tzeporah Berman tells us about the potential of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to&nbsp;constrain supply. And Mohamed Adow tells us why the continent of Africa could lead the way in becoming a renewable energy superpower, and what that means for its development.</p><p><br></p><p><u>Guests</u></p><p>Kingsmill Bond, Energy Strategist, Rocky Mountain Institute (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/KingsmillBond\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@KingsmillBond</a>) (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/RockyMtnInst\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@RockyMtnInst</a>)</p><p><br></p><p>Tzeporah Berman,&nbsp;Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/tzeporah\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@tzeporah</a>) (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/fossiltreaty\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@fossiltreaty</a>)</p><p><br></p><p>Mohamed Adow, Director, Power Shift Africa (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/mohadow\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@mohadow</a>) (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/PowerShftAfrica\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@PowerShftAfrica</a>)</p><p><br></p><p><u>More info</u></p><p><a href=\"https://rmi.org/peaking-the-series/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Read about past and current peaks in fossil fuel demand</a>&nbsp;(RMI)</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.kingsmillbond.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Kingsmill Bond's website</a>&nbsp;to read about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.kingsmillbond.com/change\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">drivers of change for the transition to renewables</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.kingsmillbond.com/myths-of-the-incumbency\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the myths of the incumbency</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.volts.wtf/p/volts-podcast-the-good-news-about#details\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Listen to Kingsmill on the Volts Podcast</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://fossilfueltreaty.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://fossilfuelregistry.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Access the Global Registry of Fossil Fuels</a>&nbsp;(Carbon Tracker; Global Energy Monitor)</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ted.com/talks/tzeporah_berman_the_bad_math_of_the_fossil_fuel_industry?language=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch Tzeporah's&nbsp;TED Talk</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.powershiftafrica.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Power Shift Africa's Website</a></p>","author_name":"Cheerful"}
