“Wind and solar are crushing fossil fuels,” according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance on April 6, 2016. How is this happening? Transformative Innovation.

One of the transformational leaders is Jennifer Baird, CEO of Accio Energy who Green Connections host Joan Michelson spoke with in this fascinating interview from the ARPA-E Innovation Summit.  Their innovative, blade-free wind Technology was awarded $4.5 million by ARPA-E in November 2015. And, it’s less expensive. Listen and be inspired to think differently as Joan talks with Baird about it – and about leading transformation.
