My guest today is Margot Paez. Margot Paez is a PhD candidate in the civil engineering department at Georgia Institute of Technology. She has an MS in physics from GT and works on climate change statistical-based modeling, primarily in relation to water resources. She is also a Fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Over the past few years, her focus has turned to Bitcoin and how it can help foster a renewable energy renaissance.
