Cofounder Emily Kirsch leads the charge w/Powerhouse, world’s 1st accelerator dedicated to solar

As Co-founder and CEO of Powerhouse, the world’s first solar-focused incubator and accelerator, Emily Kirsch thinks about energy a lot. On today’s This Week in Startups, Jason and Emily sit down to talk all things solar, including the current state of the solar industry and where it’s headed in the next 20 years. Hear Emily’s predictions about the future of solar energy (looking bright), the nuts and bolts of how she runs her incubator and accelerator (and the difference between the two), and a great number of wide-ranging and in-depth discussions from oil in the Middle East to the Tesla Powerwall.
