Here are the highlights of my discussion with Rob Lamkin, CEO of Cool Earth Solar, a concentrated photovoltaic startup based in Livermore.
Why is solar the solution to global warming and energy security?
“Solar energy is the only thing we have in near enough abundance to solve the energy problems we have.”
On hiring new team members
Technical skills are not enough, passion for clean energy is a prerequisite. “Passion is a filter for us.”
On wind power
“These windmills you can see on this hillside behind you; I look at them and see beauty…they’re displacing the need to burn more fossil fuels, build power plants.”
