Renewable energy and the case for climate optimism with Bill McKibben

Renewable energy and the case for climate optimism with Bill McKibben

Is the clean energy revolution finally here? Over the past few years, the world has experienced a sudden and overwhelming surge in renewable energy installation and generation, outpacing even the most optimistic predictions from experts. This week on the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer talks to Bill McKibben, an environmentalist and author, about the stakes and scale of the global energy transformation. His new book, Here Comes the Sun, argues renewables aren’t just a climate fix—they’re a political and economic opportunity. But while China and Europe are pushing ahead in the race to power the future, the Trump administration is doubling down on fossil fuels. What happens if the US puts the brakes on clean energy, just as the rest of the world hits the gas? Or rather... plugs in the solar battery? Do we risk being left in the dark?

Host: Ian Bremmer
