CleanTechnica Interview with Bill McKibben

This is a video interview, not a piece with new programs or numbers to act on. CleanTechnica founder Scott Cooney sat down with author and activist Bill McKibben at the Hawaii Sustainability Expo for a wide-ranging conversation. They talked about countries around the world moving away from fossil fuels, new developments in clean energy technology, and Hawaii's own debate over whether to build new fossil fuel infrastructure. McKibben also shared his read on what will dominate the energy world over the next two to three years.

Much of the talk was personal rather than technical — Cooney described it as "talk story," a Hawaiian term for an unscripted, friendly conversation about someone's life and outlook, without a set agenda. So the interview covers McKibben's broader philosophy and career as much as any specific policy or technology news.

There's nothing here that changes what programs, rebates, or upgrades are available to homeowners. If you're interested in the bigger picture of where clean energy is headed globally, or want to hear a longtime climate figure reflect on his work, the video is worth a watch. But it doesn't announce any new incentive, deadline, or technology you'd need to plan around for your own house.
