"One thing I've noticed is that lots of people have good ideas, lots of people have grand theories, lots of people have their article on the grand plan that could decarbonize everything in 10 years etc. -- what the world lacks is people who can make things happen. The longer I've been involved in politics, the less I value the cleverest boy in the room and his clever new plan, and the more I value the person who can just get some people together in a room and make anything happen, anything! Those people are rare: the doers and organizers and actors, rather than the thinkers. That's what we need more of, just organizers. If you can make one actual thing happen, that is more valuable to me than any number of tomes of genius political science or whatever. Even if you are daunted by the big picture, find a little thing and make it happen." 🤩 david roberts (Volts) interviewed by Ben Eidelson (Climate Papa, Stepchange GP, 9Zero Member) yesterday @ Seattle's 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub such deep gratitude to 9Zero Members Vikram Sridhar & Brian Allen for QBing this stunt to the finish line & ensuring a smooth A/V experience (respectively) and thank you to the 9Zero Members who had fantastic questions for David!
