Episode description


The grid: what even is it? We’re talking today about why you should care about where your electricity comes from! Let’s break down the whole situation: importance of grid reliability and flexibility, how our energy is generated, and how we’re going to transition into a safer, more stable system. Lots of goodness to better prepare you not only for climate conversations, but deeper thinking about national security and consumer comfort.
