Energy Tradeoffs Podcast #8 – Jesse Jenkins
Another week, another EnergyTradeoffs.com podcast episode. This week, Princeton’s Jesse Jenkins talks with David Spence about his research on “The Best Route to Net-Zero Emissions.”
Jesse describes why “firm low-carbon power resources,” such as nuclear and natural gas with carbon capture make it much cheaper to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector. Unlike variable solar and wind resources, these firm sources are “not weather-dependent, can be used anytime of the year, and can generate power for any length of time.”
The interview builds on Jesse’s 2018 article “The Role of Firm Low-Carbon Electricity Resources in Deep Decarbonization of Power Generation.”
