Bright Thinker
Solving the Planet's Energy Problems
BrightSource Energy CEO John Woolard, MBA 97, spoke about the challenges of decarbonizing the world’s power supply at the All-Alumni Conference in April. Woolard explained how he founded BrightSource to make a meaningful dent in the world’s reliance on carbon-emitting sources of energy. BrightSource is now building the world’s three largest solar power plants and has plans to build 10 more - “all on a scale that can make a difference,” Woolard noted.
