The Future of Environmentalism with Alex Trembath, The Breakthrough Institute

​The environmental movement is at a crossroads. After decades focused on stopping growth, a new argument is emerging: what if solving climate change requires building far more energy, infrastructure, and technology, not less?

​Join Students for Abundance at Berkeley, Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative (BERC), and Berkeley Environmental Economics and Policy Society (BEEPS) for a fireside chat conversation with Alex Trembath of the Breakthrough Institute about the future of climate politics. We'll discuss the rise of the "ecomodernism" movement and what this means for environmentalism. We’ll dive into nuclear power, natural gas, AI-driven energy demand, permitting reform, and the growing tension between affordability and climate activism.
