<p>When was the last time you heard a positive story about climate change, a story about someone with a new idea or innovative solution to help reduce our carbon footprint?</p> <p>This is that story. Michael Greenstone is a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, Director of the Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago (<a href="https://epic.uchicago.edu/">EPIC</a>) and former chief economist in the Obama White House.
