Summary: Russell Gold, Wall Street Journal reporter and author of Superpower: One Man’s Quest to Transform American Energy, tells the story of Michael Skelly who began working on wind energy in 2000 when many considered the industry a joke. Eight years later, Skelly helped build the second largest U.S. wind power company, which he sold for $2 billion. Wind power is no longer the butt of energy jokes, and Skelly is not done working on converting the U.S. power grid from fossil fuel-based to renewable-based energy. Mr. Gold joins us to tell his story. (10/2019)
