085 - Climate Change, War, and Distributed Power: A Complex Interplay | Jonathan Knight

In the latest episode of BOOM! It's on the Blockchain we are joined by Jonathan Knight, CEO of Uprise Energy to discuss Climate Change, Israel & Palestine Conflict, and Distributed Power: A Complex Interplay.
The intersection of climate change, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the concept of distributed power presents a complex and multifaceted web of challenges and opportunities. While these issues may seem unrelated at first glance, they share a deep connection that requires careful consideration.
In this podcast we discuss the complex interplay between climate change, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the concept of distributed power illustrates the importance of addressing global issues through a multidisciplinary lens. Climate change acts as a stressor that exacerbates existing tensions, but distributed power offers a path towards resilience, collaboration, and conflict resolution.
Jonathan elucidates that apart from providing immediate access to electricity, distributed power systems have the capacity to foster economic opportunities and catalyze economic growth, which, in turn, addresses fundamental social and economic challenges within a given region. Projects centered around distributed power sources, such as mobile wind turbines, play a pivotal role in broadening the local economic landscape. They introduce supplementary revenue streams and diminish the country's reliance on a solitary energy source, typically fossil fuels, thus enhancing economic resilience and independence.
Jonathan Knight is a Cofounder and CEO of Uprise Energy, a San Diego, CA based startup that is building the world’s first commercially sized mobile wind turbines. Prior to Uprise, Jonathan was the Senior VP and General Manager of Knight & Carver Yacht Center, an award winning and globally recognized custom yacht builder that also operated the largest marine repair facility on the West Coast of the Americas.
