What the end of 'King Coal' means for Big Oil & Gas, with Bruce Nilles
About this episode
Bruce Nilles discusses the impact of closing coal plants and the future challenges posed by gas emissions.
"I love doing it and I'll be doing it for a while, 'cause we ain't done yet," says the legendary lawyer who spurred a global campaign that led to the closing of 390 U.S. coal plants, forever: Bruce Nilles. Live on stage at Climate Curious Live 'Climate Impossible?', he shares the story of an epic climate win — combining grassroots grandmas, courtroom clashes, and a $50 million philanthropic gift — igniting an unstoppable movement and delivering one of the largest reductions in climate pollution of any sector, anywhere in the world. And we hear about the next frontier: gas. Recorded live at The Conduit as part of London Climate Action Week, in conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst.
