Summary

Matt speaks with Ibhade Eigbobo of Budderfly about why energy efficiency in small businesses may be the fastest, cheapest fix for America’s looming energy crunch. They discuss the energy-as-a-service model, batteries, virtual power plants, and why the cheapest power plant is the one we don’t build.
