In this episode, our guest is Danny Kennedy, a serial energy entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for distributed renewables. Danny shares his bold vision for a world powered entirely by solar energy and battery storage — a transformation he calls "Solar for Universal Need." Drawing on his experience leading startups and initiatives like the California Clean Energy Fund and New Energy Nexus, Danny explores the dramatic cost declines in solar and storage technologies and their role in reshaping how we electrify everything — from homes to transportation, boats, agriculture, and even cooking.

He highlights how developing countries like Pakistan and the Philippines are leapfrogging centralized grid models by deploying decentralized, low-cost energy solutions that empower citizens and communities. Danny also discusses the overlooked potential of maritime electrification, the role of AI and social media in accelerating learning and deployment, and the coming disruption of fossil-fueled infrastructure.

This is a wide-ranging, energizing conversation on how innovation, entrepreneurship, and bold action can help us navigate — and accelerate — the global energy transition.
