“We're at the beginning of the wave of climate change that is going to be followed by an unknown level of biodiversity impact. We know there's some rough stuff coming. But what I'm really excited about is we are starting to see some real movement on aglobal scale, regional scale, industry scale… As an architect, I'm used to changing the world one building at a time. But now we're seeing the world change one electrical grid at a time or at that type of scale with major technological shifts that are helping to move us forward.”
