Debate: Green Economic Growth Vs. Slow Growth (2/2)

This is a very interesting talk between two economic approaches to how we build renewable energy infrastructures. They answer questions I've been asking for years.

One said that if we transition over to renewable too quickly, we'll actually create more CO2 emissions than if we do it slower, while growing enough renewables that we can build the remaining infrastructure through renewable energy, rather than building everything entirely from fossil fuel in one big blast.
