I ended up producing 80 videos from my time at the 2015 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week in January. (It’s going to take a while to share all of those here on CleanTechnica.) In January, I shared the first article in a “Michael Liebreich Interview Series,” which came about through a dinner with Michael and his many useful insights into clean energy and electric vehicle matters. That first article, “Cheapest Solar In The World,” was a pretty big hit, but I think this one could outperform it.
This video comes right after a panel Michael was moderating, and right before he invited me to dinner. It is about the intriguing future of utilities, and an idea Michael has come up with that is quite compelling. Just watch:

In northern Germany you could get one already. http://t.co/MrDmOD7zbE @MLiebreich @kevinmeyerson @zshahan3 @Masdar @ZFEP @BloombergNEF

So, we’ve got Japan and Germany inching into the future Michael envisions. Who’s up for starting Electelecom?
For more fun, here’s the video clip from the FT-IRENA event where Michael initially discussed the gloomy future of energy producers (which is what kicked off that Twitter convo):

Autonomous Drones for Better Farming
I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don't like paywalls, and so we've decided to ditch ours. Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
