Dark Days Ahead: The Threats to Our Electric Grid || El Podcast EP44

In Episode 44 of El Podcast, we are honored to host Meredith Angwin as our special guest. She brings her expertise to shed light on the pressing issues surrounding America's power grid in her book "Shorting the Grid." Drawing parallels to the 2008 financial crisis portrayed in "The Big Short," Angwin warns of recurrent blackouts becoming commonplace due to systemic flaws in grid management. She emphasizes the absence of financial incentives for prioritizing reliability, a concern validated by recent assessments from NERC (National Energy Reliability Council) that identify large regions at risk of rolling blackouts. Angwin's book serves as a critical examination of the grid's vulnerabilities, advocating for urgent actions to secure a reliable energy future. The discussion resonates with a call to prioritize grid reliability and affordability to safeguard the well-being of communities nationwide.
