C1 REVUE: CAN OUR CONNECTED LIVES BE GREEN AND SAFE?

from Can California Get to 100-percent Clean Power? held on August 23, 2016

California has committed to getting one-half of its electricity from renewable sources by the year 2030. But clean energy advocates say the state could be more ambitious and shoot for 100% clean electricity. Still, not everyone agrees on how the existing energy grid can integrate new technologies, or whether getting to 100% is even technically possible yet. On today's program, we hear how smart technology and the "Internet of things" can be part of the solution, while making our lives greener, safer, and more convenient.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California.
