Leslie Palti-Guzman exchanges with Carolyn Kissane, the Academic Director of the graduate program in Global Affairs at New York University and a professor of geopolitics of energy and environment. Carolyn and her students are just back from a research trip in Norway and Denmark where they examined the Nordic countries' model of energy transition. Carolyn and Leslie discuss electrification, role of governments and private sector, financing, transportation and power sectors, and environmental opposition to transmission lines. The chat on personal trajectories include playing a role model for women students and an inspiring segment on being true to your own style and personality (e.g. natural curly hairs rather than blow dry).
