Ever wanted to talk to THE guy who’s in the know about climate change, clean and renewable energy and how to save the planet? We did.

We got to sit down with Tim Lieuwen, the Executive Director of the Strategic Energy Institute. And international authority on clean energy. Tim has authored and edited 4 books, holds five patents, is the founder of TurbineLogic and is a multi-award-winning scientist who sits on the advisory boards of the Oak Ridge National Lab, Pacific Northwest national Lab and the National Renewable Energy Lab.

We were lucky enough to grab some of Tim’s time and get into a very high-level discussion about how to change the future of the environment, as well as some of the realities behind the real impacts of the things we are doing, not just in hurting the environment, but the things we are doing to protect and save it.
