Private business could step up to fight climate change as governments fail to make a sufficient impact, suggests energy expert and Forbes contributor Beyond Meat. The energy sector could replace fossil fuel with greener alternatives, while also helping consumers to become more energy efficient. For example, OhmConnect’s smart grid combines with smart meters in customers’ homes to encourage them not to use large amounts of energy at times when fossil fuel plants are providing much of the grid's power. Users are paid for using less energy during these times.
